Selfish

I always 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
Was the distance was breakin' your heart
You put on your 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 undone
Selfish
To want you here everyday
We both knew we were much to far away
Selfish
To think there was nothing wrong
With me helplessly hanging onto you
Selfish
My heart was stuck in denial
There were to many miles between us

Didn't wanna hurt you baby,
Never meant to hurt you baby,
I didn't wanna hurt you baby,
Didn't wanna hurt you baby,
Never wanna hurt you baby,
Listen...

When I am on the telephone,
I hear you say good night,
Was probably not the best way,
to keep the commitment alive,

After all the fantasies,
I couldn't see past what could have been
You were a part of me, but
unhappy to be it, it had to be
cuz it was
Selfish
Of me to give you my love
And tell you that we would never be undone
Selfish
To want you here everyday
We both knew we were much to far away
Selfish
To think there was nothing wrong
With me helplessly hanging onto you
Selfish
My heart was stuck in denial
There were to many miles between us

Tell me how could it be that I loved you with all my heart,
but I was heartless
I was oblivious to something
That was running in front of me
Oh Lord take this misery away
It was...

Selfish
Of me to give you my love
And tell you that we would never be undone
Selfish
To want you here everyday
We both knew we were much to far away
Selfish
To think there was nothing wrong
With me helplessly hanging onto you
Selfish
My heart was stuck in denial
There were to many miles between us

Didn't wanna hurt you baby,
Never meant to hurt you baby,
I didn't wanna hurt you baby,
Didn't wanna hurt you baby,
Never wanna hurt you baby
