Was in bit of an inspirational mood writing a few lyrics, and then I remembered seeing this topic earlier. So I thought I'd have a listen and maybe have a stab... nice tune btw.
My lyrics are nothing to do with the title you gave it (hope that's okay) and I've only written up to where your music ends (the last line is a fraction after it stops). I've timestamped when the vocals kick in for each verse. Anyway, hope you like it.
Spoken
From the first moment that I met you
I knew exactly who you were...
30s
You turn around and have the gall to say you love me
When I know I’m not the only game in town
You think I’m blind but I put two and two together
There’s no mystery in how it all works out
Did you think you were forgiven?
Do you think I am a fool?
You’re not selling me on Heaven
Paradise was meant for two
But you only love you
You only love you…
1m 15s
These other girls may think that they’re your only conquest
It just goes to show how blind the heart can be
I learnt my lesson on the sharp edge of rejection
I won’t make that same mistake again you see
Does it hurt that I don’t need you?
Is it hard to face the truth?
Never bite the hand that feeds you
That’s the worst thing you can do
It’s time the whole world knew
That you only love you
*edit
So I thought I'd throw in some more to finish it off...
Oh please stop acting like I’m not the first to burn you
Cos we both know there are farewells in your eyes
You need to grow up, learn to be the man you yearn to
Be, and move on from the man who you despise
Did you think I never noticed
All the pain you tried to hide?
You are too afraid to show it
Buried it so deep inside
Became what you despised
An ego in the night
Do you cry when no one calls you?
Do you realise the truth?
Does my memory still haunt you?
Well you walk the path you choose
And what you chose to do
Is only to love you
You only love you
You only love you
You only love you...

I'm currently using Libre Office Word for my writing utility of choice... but it has an annoying habit of auto-filling words when my back is turned or when I'm just looking at the keyboard when I'm typing... so I end a line with "you" and when I look up it's become "yourself"...
I hate predictive text... it's so... stupid! It makes the village idiot look bright!

Added something to the beginning... a little "introduction" I though might work. Sounds good in my head! I should have pointed out (probably no need) but this is sung from a woman't perspective (at least that's how I wrote it although I rarely do - this time it seemed appropriate). It could be sung from a (gay) man's perspective by changing the "these other girls" to "these other boys/men"...
