"Selfish" Lyrics

I only thought of you and me and never anything else
The time we spent together kept me sane, you helped me to be myself
What I didn't realize is that the distance was breaking your heart
You put on your best disguise, but 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 too far away.
selfish, to think there was nothing wrong, with me helplessly 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 probably not the best way to keep the commitment alive
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 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 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 undone
selfish, to want you here everyday, when we both knew we were much to far away.
selfish, to think there was nothing wrong, with me helplessly 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
