Selfish

I stopped counting how many days I needed
To put my soul back together after you
While you were breaking other beds
Love broke in me
 
I wanted so little from you but you're selfish
Selfish! Do you fall asleep with a clean conscience?
 
Every woman you make love to 1
You call her a whore after that
I got sick of my heart being a charger2
And it got nasty
I was putty3 in your hands
You liked me best crushed
My heart is hurting
There is a sick ego where yours is supposed to be
 
To you love means not coming home for weeks
Just when I get back up you knock me down
With a new lie in my back 4
 
I wanted so little from you but you're selfish
Selfish! Do you fall asleep with a clean conscience?
 
Every woman you make love to
You call her a whore after that
I got sick of my heart being a charger
And it got nasty
I was putty in your hands
You liked me best crushed
My heart is hurting
There is a sick ego where yours is supposed to be
 
  • 1. The literal translation would be, 'Every woman you love' but the next line makes it clear that she's talking about having sex, so 'make love to' is a more appropriate translation of the line
  • 2. Or "... of you using my heart like a charger" if that makes the line more clear
  • 3. глина literally means 'clay'
  • 4. From the expression 'a knife in the back'/'to stab someone in the back' but the word 'knife' is replaced with 'lie'

Thanks for a comprehensive (and comprehensible :) ) translation.
Maybe you could remove the "(you using my heart like a charger)" which already appears in the footnote?
