Selfish

(album: Shahrazad - 2023)

You're so selfish
Trying to protect yourself
You know we're blood? That's one unbreakable bond
And your father needs your help

Guess those walls were too big for us
Walls in the middle of us
Those walls really split us up
And none of us could tear them down
I could knock, but you wouldn't hear a sound
I'd talk, but you'd never really listen
Now it's been about, what, 5 or 6 years
All I know is that you're out there
Living

Looked for you on graduation day
Hoping I would see your face
But I know that for some people pain can be a prison
Some get stuck forever overthinking
You got way too busy pointing fingers
Life is way too short for pointing fingers

You're so selfish
Trying to protect yourself
You know we're blood? That's one unbreakable bond
And your father needs your help
Was I really that selfish
Trying to protect myself?
I was 16 years old, living in the cold
Stuck between two hells

How much longer do you wanna play the blame-game?
All along you've been digging in the past thinking that you can bury ghosts
Feeling sorry for yourself, bitterness is your best friend
I'll always wish you the best, I swear. I swear.

Looked for you on graduation day
Hoping I would see your face
But I know that for some people pain can be a prison
Some get stuck forever overthinking
You got way too busy pointing fingers
Life is way too short for pointing fingers

You're so selfish
Trying to protect yourself
You know we're blood? That's one unbreakable bond
And your father needs your help
Was I really that selfish
Trying to protect myself?
I was 16 years old, living in the cold
Stuck between two hells

So now you're gone, I guess it's over
Now you're gone. Is it really over?
Now you're gone, I guess it's over
Now you're gone
