“Selfish” is the official second single to Madison’s debut album, Life Support. Madison confirmed the song in a tweet on Twitter.
On 10 February she posted another snippet on her Twitter, which was followed by the release of the music video on Valentine’s Day, February 14.
[Verse 1]
Boy, you're such a lost cause
Now your name is crossed off
How you gonna fix this?
You can't even fix yourself
It was almost two years
That I chose to spend here
All alone on New Year's
Thinkin', "What the hell?"
[Pre-Chorus]
I don't wanna break your thread and needle
Tryna stitch you, but I can't
I refuse
[Chorus]
Shouldn't love you, but I couldn't help it
Had a feeling that you never felt it
I always knew that you were too damn selfish
Don't know why I looked the other way
I wanted you to change, yeah
I shouldn't love you, but I couldn't help it
I always knew that you were too damn selfish
[Verse 2]
I bet you thought you gave me real love
But we spent it all in nightclubs
All you ever wanna do is lie
Why you always such a Gemini?
Baby, who you tryna run from?
Me or all your problems?
You know you will never solve 'em
You don't even know yourself
[Pre-Chorus]
I don't wanna break your thread and needle
Tryna stitch you, but I can't
I refuse
[Chorus]
Shouldn't love you, but I couldn't help it
Had a feeling that you never felt it
I always knew that you were too damn selfish
Don't know why I looked the other way
I wanted you to change, yeah
I shouldn't love you, but I couldn't help it
I always knew that you were too damn selfish
[Post-Chorus]
I don't wanna break your thread and needle
Tryna stitch you, but I can't
I refuse
[Bridge]
But it's not possible
Plus I'm not responsible
For your self-made obstacles
Put my heart in the hospital, woah, woah-oh
[Chorus]
Shouldn't love you, but I couldn't help it
Had a feeling that you never felt it
I always knew that you were too damn selfish
Don't know why I looked the other way
I wanted you to change, yeah
I shouldn't love you, but I couldn't help it
I always knew that you were too damn selfish
[Outro]
