[Verse 1] (bass guitar opens, intimate piano enters) You stepped across the marble floor like you owned the entire room Silk lapels and a vintage smirk cutting through the room’s perfume You checked the glass behind the bar to admire your silhouette Convinced that everybody there was someone you’d soon forget (soft backing vocals) And every eye in the house was locked on you Hoping you’d throw them a glance or two [Chorus] (drums kick in, full band swell) You’re so self-absorbed You probably think this song is all about you You’re so self-absorbed I bet you’re listening thinking it’s about you Don’t you? Don’t you? [Verse 2] (piano arpeggios, steady mid-tempo groove) You sold me on a grand design when I was young and wide-eyed Told me we were golden royalty standing side by side Then you threw aside the sweetest things the moment they got old Trading devotion for polished mirrors and applause that’s bought and sold (backing harmonies rise) I watched my hopes dissolve like steam rising from my cup While you were too busy looking down to ever lift me up [Chorus] (full arrangement, dynamic punch) You’re so self-absorbed You probably think this song is all about you You’re so self-absorbed I bet you’re listening thinking it’s about you Don’t you? Don’t you? [Bridge] (tempo breathes, acoustic guitar and strings take focus) Now you charter private jets out to the sunlit coast Always surrounding yourself with the people you look down on most Chasing an echo of your own applause down every boulevard Holding a hand of winning cards, but never showing your heart (vocals build with conviction) You think you’re a legend carved in stone Drinking champagne in the crowd, utterly alone [Guitar Solo] (tasteful melodic electric guitar, warm 70s analog tone) [Chorus] (crescendo, spirited backing vocals) You’re so self-absorbed You probably think this song is all about you You’re so self-absorbed I bet you’re listening thinking it’s about you Don’t you? Don’t you? [Outro] (piano fades slowly, acoustic guitar strums, lingering groove) Yeah, you’re convinced it’s you Always convinced it’s about you (whispered) Keep telling yourself that (fade out)
