Selfish

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 helplessy 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

Relying on the telephone I hear you say goodnite
Was probably not the best way to keep the commitment alive
After all the fantasies, I couldn't see past, what could of been oo
You were a part of me, but unhappy to be, could'nthandle it
'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, when we both knew we were much too far away.
Selfish, to think there was nothing wrong, with me helplessy 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 was oblivious to something that was right in front of me, 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 undone.
Selfish, to want you here everyday, when we both knew we were much too far away.
Selfish, to think there was nothing wrong, with me helplessy 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
