Lyrics
Selfish
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Some say that love is blind
Some say you almost lose your mind
You got under my skin
The moment you walked in
And no matter how hard I try
Rejection kept me occupied
But now I can't contain
The way that I behave
When I see your face
I won't compromise
You belong to me
It's you and I
It's no wonder
I'm selfish
Maybe I want to lose control
Maybe I'm better off this way
It gets harder every day
I'm selfish
Maybe I want to lose control
Maybe it's wrong and I can't tell
It's you or no one else
I knew I'd get you in the end
It wasn't how but only when
And then I'll win my prize
And I'll be satisfied
When I see your face
I won't compromise
You belong to me
It's you and I
It's no wonder
Cause I'm selfish
Maybe I want to lose control
Maybe I'm better off this way
It gets harder every day
I'm selfish
Maybe I want to lose control
Maybe it's wrong and I can't tell
It's you or no one else
Cause in a perfect world
It's a perfect dream
I'll never be afraid
I'll never be alone
Cause it's you I'm sure
I'm good for
Why maybe I'm selfish
And I can't help but lose control
Maybe I'm better off this way
And I won't suffer every day
Now I'm selfish
Maybe I want to lose control
Maybe it's wrong and I can't tell
It's you or no one else
Maybe I'm selfish
It's you or no one else
