Selfish

I'll lay this all on your head

To make you suffer, guilty

Your eyes, anonymous and dead

How is it that you see through me

 

I shouldn't want to give a damn

and believe a selfish man

Not knowing like I used to...

That we're here prepared to fall

and believe we'll fight it all

All the years you stole away

 

In your mind,

a clouded picture,

Hung for only you to see

Suffering with your own signature,

you found a name for me

 

I shouldn't want to give a damn

and believe a selfish man

Not knowing like I used to...

That we're here prepared to fall

and believe we'll fight it all

All the years you stole away

 

You took a silent stand, when you took my hand,

now don't you dare

I put up a fight, and it wasn't right,

now don't you dare

So then you choose, to use and abuse,

now don't you dare

You scare me, but you care for me,

now don't you

 

All you've seen is the dark behind the sun

Why take the time to understand

Shade your eyes till you see no one

a lonely life

a selfish man

You're no ordinary man
