Selfish

Lyrics

I snuck in last night, thinking I might get to say hello.
Oceans and lovers can drown you in covers like undertow.
With something so good, I would do all I could not to let it go.
I’m feeling so selfish. And it’s real hard to help it; I should know.
Selfish is only the fear of a lonely heart.
And lonely is just how I’m feeling with us apart. Leaving me selfish.

When I’ve got you close, it’s so easy to know who I want to be.
Bodies ensnared are as deep as the layers of a symphony.
You’ve given me purpose, and I’m getting so nervous for when you leave.
It’s made me so selfish, but it’s so hard to help it. Just look at me.
Selfish is only the fear of a lonely heart.
And lonely is just how I’m feeling with us apart. Leaving me selfish.

I’m wishin the best things for you. I just wish they were best for me too.

I will pretend that I’m cool if you end up far away.
And I’ll watch you go, and you know that I won’t have a word to say.
But after you’ve gone, I will reminisce on a brighter day.
And keep being selfish, 'cause it’s so hard to help it, ain’t it babe?
Selfish is only the fear of a lonely heart.
And lonely is just how I’m feeling with us apart. Leaving me selfish.
