In It for Me

In It for Me
(Verse 1)
I said I loved you, I swore it was true,
But I was just playing a part, fooling you.
I took what I wanted, I gave you the rest,
And now I’m standing here with no more to confess.
I smiled when you cried, held you through the pain,
But I was never here for you, just myself to gain.
You gave me your heart, and I gave you a lie,
Pretended to care, but I’m the reason you cried.
(Pre-Chorus)
I knew what I was doing, but I kept it inside,
Told you all the things that made me look kind.
But it was all a show, it was all a game,
And now you’re the one left with all the shame.
(Chorus)
I was in it for me, I was never real,
Took what I wanted, but I never could feel.
I told you I loved you, but that was just a lie,
I was in it for me, and now you’re asking why.
I played the part, but it was all for show,
I used you up, now I’ve got to let you go.
I was in it for me, and now it’s clear,
I never loved you, I was just in it for the fear.
(Verse 2)
I told you I needed you, that you were the one,
But the truth is, I was just looking for fun.
I took all your time, I took all your grace,
But I was just using you to fill an empty space.
I strung you along, made you think it was true,
But in the end, I was only thinking of me, not you.
You loved me completely, but I loved myself,
Took what I could, left you on the shelf.
(Pre-Chorus)
I knew what I was doing, but I kept it inside,
Told you all the things that made me look kind.
But it was all a show, it was all a game,
And now you’re the one left with all the shame.
(Chorus)
I was in it for me, I was never real,
Took what I wanted, but I never could feel.
I told you I loved you, but that was just a lie,
I was in it for me, and now you’re asking why.
I played the part, but it was all for show,
I used you up, now I’ve got to let you go.
I was in it for me, and now it’s clear,
I never loved you, I was just in it for the fear.
(Bridge)
I’m sorry for the pain, sorry for the game,
I know I’m the only one to blame.
You deserved more than what I gave,
But I was only after what I could take.
(Chorus)
I was in it for me, I was never real,
Took what I wanted, but I never could feel.
I told you I loved you, but that was just a lie,
I was in it for me, and now you’re asking why.
I played the part, but it was all for show,
I used you up, now I’ve got to let you go.
I was in it for me, and now it’s clear,
I never loved you, I was just in it for the fear.
(Outro)
I was in it for me, and now you see,
The truth behind what I claimed to be.
You gave me your heart, but I only took,
I never cared, and that’s all it took.
