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.
I only thought of you and me
And never anything else
The time we spent together kept me sane,
It helped me to be myself
What I didn't realize is that the distance
Was breaking your heart
Even under you're best disguise,
It was tearing you apart, baby.
It was...
Selfish,
Of me to give you my love
And tell you that we would never be
Selfish,
To want you here everyday,
Even though we were much too far away
Selfish,
To think there was nothing wrong,
Leave me helplessy hanging on to you
Selfish,
My heart was stuck in denial,
There were too many miles between us
Didn't wanna hurtcha baby,
Never meant to hurtcha baby
(Didn't wanna hurtchu baby)
Didn't wanna hurtcha baby,
Never meant to hurtcha baby
When I am on the telephone
I hear you say goodnight
Was hard to not the best way
To keep the commitment light?
After all the fantasies,
I couldn't see past, what could it be?
You were a part of me,
But it had to be, oh, it had to
'Cause it was..
Selfish,
Of me to give you my love
And tell you that we would never be
Selfish,
To want you here everyday,
Even though we were much too far away
Selfish,
To think there was nothing wrong,
Leave me helplessy hanging on to you
Selfish,
My heart was stuck in denial,
There were too many miles between us
Tell me,
How can it be that I loved you with all my heart
But I was heartless,
I want to believe that there was still something
I was running from,
Oh no, take this misery away, away.
It was...
Selfish,
Of me to give you my love
And tell you that we would never be
Selfish,
To want you here everyday,
Even though we were much too far away
Selfish,
To think there was nothing wrong,
Leave me helplessy hanging on to you
Selfish,
My heart was stuck in denial,
There were too many miles between us
Didn't wanna hurtcha baby,
Never meant to hurtcha baby
(Never meant to hurt you baby)
Didn't wanna hurtcha baby,
Never meant to hurtcha baby
