Played Myself

Just the other day, I felt you treating me some type of way I swear I saw it on your face, but I guess that wasn't the case Story short, I made a move But all I did was make a fool out of myself It wasn't cool, the feeling wasn't mutual, yeah I played myself, I'll admit it I got lost in my imagination, didn't read the situation It ain't your fault, I get it You were being nice, and I was being so in love with you Yeah, "I ain't tryna be alpha, but I beta be with ya" That's what I told her 'fore she gave me the cold shoulder, hmm I've been getting so sick of never being the sigma That's what I get for never being hard-to-get, yeah-yeah-yeah Just the other day I felt you treating me some type of way Felt something shift in our embrace, but I guess that wasn't the case Maybe it was just a phase when you said, "I see us one day" I tried so hard to not get played, but here I wind up anyway I played myself, I'll admit it I got lost in my imagination, didn't read the situation It ain't your fault, I get it You were being nice, and I was being so in love with you So in love with you Always an opportunity to grow in some humility Got hit with hard reality, now I'll become a better me I set myself up for failure, and that's on me All of the signs, they were clear, just chose not to see, yeah I played myself, I'll admit it I got lost inside my own ambition, told myself that we were clicking It ain't your fault, I get it You were being nice, and I was being so in love with you I'm so in love with you
