It's time to listen to the song called "Selfish To Love" which became the soundtrack for "The Broken Hearts Story", Book 2 from the "Stronger Together" series. "Selfish To Love" is about the relationship of a man and a girl, whose relationship is on the brink of collapse. The song is about the man's feelings caused by the fact that his girlfriend has placed her career above their love. I mean… They didn't have any kind of love at that moment. This couple started to date under the influence of mutual passion. No thoughts about living happily ever after, in joy and grief, in poverty and in wealth! No, come on! They didn't even think about it! But the guys didn't think about not being able to build the relationship on passion. Just like it's impossible to build it by forcing and pretending. Yes, at first, they were pretending that everything was okay. But the antagonist that came into their lives literally made the characters open their eyes and realize that they had been lying to each other and themselves for a long time. And they did not want to confess to themselves that they started the relationship just for their own benefit.
[Verse]
We are so close but so far away
People believe all the lies we say
They’re glad to see us together
Thinkin’ it’s gonna last forever
Everyone can see what’s outside
But no one knows what’s inside
[Pre-Chorus]
It’s getting harder to hold on
I’m thinking of letting you go
You care about your career more
You always leave and close the door
When I just want to talk
[Chorus]
You’re too selfish to love
Can’t slow down, always in a rush
My feelings are getting cold
I give up on holding this rope
No longer feel desired and loved
Your indifference has me crushed
[Post-Chorus]
You wanna be a supermodel
(You wanna be on the top)
[Verse 2]
I am done with being a shadow
Won’t play the role in your show
I’m not your toy, I’m just a human
We’ve gotta deal with this illusion
I was too blind to see the real you
Now I see all you care about is you
[Pre-Chorus]
My feelings for her are gone
Like we’ve never let them be born
But I'm craving for her body
My fantasies are still dirty
And I can’t run away from them
[Chorus]
You’re too selfish to love
Can’t slow down, always in a rush
My feelings are getting cold
I give up on holding this rope
No longer feel desired and loved
Your indifference has me crushed
[Bridge]
Oh, I should’ve never craved you
I should’ve never chased you
You left a deep hole in my heart
It’s like we’re destined to fall apart
[Pre-Chorus]
You wanna be a supermodel
(You wanna be on the top)
You’re too selfish to love
(I am done with being a shadow)
[Chorus]
You’re too selfish to love
Can’t slow down, always in a rush
My feelings are getting cold
I give up on holding this rope
No longer feel desired and loved
Your indifference has me crushed
[Outro]
I’m not your toy, I’m just a human
We’ve gotta deal with this illusion
I was too blind to see the real you
Now I see all you care about is you
