Testi

[Verse 1]

What if I'm selfish?

What if I'm the reason behind it?

What if I'm overprotective with family because of how mine is?

What if I'm jealous?

Maybe that's what's making me nervous

What if my effort of pulling you closer pushing you further?

What if I'm selfish?

What if the reason they call me the greatest

Is also the reason that me and you living on different pages?

What if I'm too much?

What if I settled and I didn't fight?

What if my fear of doing it wrong's the reason I haven't been doing it right?

What if I'm selfish?

What if the kids just wanna be kids

And don't want to live in and out of the news

And chill

And don't even wanna be rich?

And what if I'm so self-centred

That I don't even realise what I could miss?

And what if I'm—

What if I'm falling in the abyss

Maybe it's—

Yeah

[Verse 2]

Maybe it's dark

Maybe it's day

Maybe it's too many nights in L,A.

Look at the house

It's sorry it's still

All of the feelings we hid in the hills

Maybe it's you

Maybe it's me

Maybe the media or the provoking

Gave you my heart, I laid it bare

Funny you went and you poked it

What if it's better with me out the way?

What if it's better with me out the—

Like, what if it's better with me out the way?

What if I'm poison?

What if I'm cancer?

What if I'm dangerous and I'm wild?

Look in my eyes and seeing a child

What if he's broken?

What if he's scared?

What if he's ostracised and vilified?

See, peace is just an illusion

Ain't got a home, I live in confusion

What if I'm selfish?

[Bridge]

Forever, forever, forever

I manage the symptoms forever

You can love how you want

I know to give is no loss

But can you settle for second?

And let go of your idea of heaven

I know it's a lot

But it might be all that I've got

I wanna throw myself in

Snap off the mask

I want a clown that sings

And a love that lasts

And I wanna escape away

Go with you to the parish

I wanna give you my life

Or at least something to cherish

But what if I'm selfish?

[Verse 3]

I done a lot of things I regret

Like announcing our split on a text

Don't know why, but I still buy gifts for my ex

Watching her stories to see if she checks

I'm a mess

I don't know if my head's in the game

She told me don't mention her name

I'm suggesting the same

I'ma get through the pain

Wanna see the sunshine, gotta get through the rain

Bag full of trauma I left on the train

I'm ashamed for the days that I said that I'd changed

I'm a cheat

Sat in a therapist's chair, crying like a baby in the middle of, ah, Harley Street

Like I'm fighting a sickness that I can't beat

I'm disloyal

And then I go mad

Reflection telling me I'm just like my dad

Then this white woman telling me it ain't so bad

Middle of my sentence she cut me off like

"Sorry, David, we don't have any more time"

The appointment till 4:00 and it's 3:55

Bro, I feel like she wouldn't even care if I died

Man, I tried all this therapy shit

Man, I tried all this therapy shit

Bro, I know

Wouldn't even say I'm depressed, but I'm low

In the Grosvenor Casino in Edgeware Road

I've got too many sins to atone

And a voice in my head like:

At this point

Like, at this point where you should have been rich

Like, at this point, where you should have had kids

Like, at this point, should have built you a life

Like, look around you, don't you feel you're behind?

Like, look around you, don't you feel you're behind?

Like, look around you, don't you feel like—

Like

[Outro]

What if I never find love?

Don't know if it's scarier, the thought of us two together

Or being alone

I'm so used to being alone

What if I'm somebody nobody wants?

What if I'm damaged

Or what if I waited too long, and I'm old?

I mean, what if I'm cold?

I mean, what if I cut off the hand that I hold?

I mean, what if I'm rapidly spiralling

Tired and jaded

Or what if I'm faded?

Or what if anxiety's growing inside me

That I might've left all my best years behind me

Or what if I'm scared as I touch 27

That you don't appear in my idea of heaven?

Or what if I'm

What if I'm

What if I'm selfish?
