Selfish
I only thought of you and me
and never anything else
The time we spent together kept me sayin'
It helped me to be myself
What I didn't realise
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
when we always knew we wer much too far away
Selfish, to think there was nothing wrong
leave me helplessly hanging on to you
Selfish, my heart was stuck in denial
there were too many miles between us
Didn't wanna hurt you baby
never meant to hurt you baby
Didn't wanna hurt you baby..
Didn't wanna hurt you baby
never meant to hurt you baby
Listen...
When i'm on the telephone
I hear you say goodnight
Was hard to not the best way to keep the
commitment light? ooohh
After all the fantasies
I couldn't see past
What could've been? ooh
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
when we always knew we wer much too far away
Selfish, to think there was nothing wrong
leave me helplessly 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 belive that there was
still somethig i was running from
oh lord 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
when we always knew we wer much too far away
Selfish, to think there was nothing wrong
leave me helplessly hanging on to you
Selfish, my heart was stuck in denial
there were too many miles between us
Didn't wanna hurt you baby
never meant to hurt you baby
Didn't wanna hurt you baby..
Didn't wanna hurt you baby
never meant to hurt you baby..
