Your Selfish Heart
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'm going away to stay awhile
Just to ease my worried mind
You never cared for me my love
So I'm leaving you behind
It's been this way so long my dear
Why can't you understand
Your selfish heart broke up our home
Just for another man
I’ll try to live my life alone
All through these lonely years
I’ll keep your picture here with me
To dry these bitter tears
