  Selfish

  
  

  

  
  

  When I want to do what I need to for me
  When there is no logic and prudence to see
  When I respond only to my heart's desire
  When I refuse to take a ground that's higher
  Oh! to be selfish

  
  

  When I don't want to consider anyone else
  When I forget to do what makes sense
  When I hold on to you just because
  When I remember me the most
  Oh! to be selfish

  
  

  When I put my heart before my mind
  When I allow myself to be so blind
  When I think about just you and me
  When I stay in what used to be
  Oh to be selfish

  
  

  But then there are those who would be hurt
  Those who would label us as dirt
  Those who depend on you and I
  The ones whom we can't say goodbye

  
  

  I remember now why we can't be
  That a long time ago we made a plea
  A promise to ourselves and to them
  Where our principles now stem

  
  

  I wish I could be selfish and just do
  Allow my heart and mind to pursue
  The dream that was so beautiful in its entirety
  A love spurned among uncertainty

  
  

  I feel just as locked as you do
  Now I'm caged in this emotion too
  I am drowning as I try to flee
  You never did say if you found the key

  
  

  I pray that God will give you the strength
  Help you go that extra length
  I will be talking to him too
  To help me do what I have to do

  
  

  For you see I can never be selfish
  I can only stay here, hope and wish
  That one day I will find someone just like you
  That even while I wake my dreams will come true

  
  

  Its hard to do the right thing and this much is real
  It aches to walk away from your heart and all that you feel
  Its harder to break the hearts of those whom you care for

  
  

  .......You remain another butterfly freed to soar
