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
