Intro
B
[Verse 1]
B
I had accepted my fate
B
I had it all set in stone
B
I was meant to fade away, in the dark and all alone
B
But now you’ve got me feeling selfish
B
How could I say no
[Bridge 1]
B
When you’re so soft
B
And you’re so warm
B
But roses always have their thorns
B
I feel my soul begin to thaw
B
And I can’t help but wish I never saw you
[Chorus]
B
Why do I have to be so selfish
B
Oh
B
Selfish
[Verse 2]
B
How we met, beneath the tree
B
Keeps me tossing in my sleep
B
Love is scarier than greed
[Bridge 2]
B
But you’re so bright
B
And you’re so pure
B
So tell me what am I here for?
[Bridge 3]
B
But my cruel hеart
B
It won’t say no
B
I have to choose between brеaking your heart
B
And killing my own
[Bridge 4]
B
And you’re so soft,
B
And you’re so warm
B
But roses always have their thorns
B
I feel my soul
B
Begin to thaw
B
And I can’t help but wish I never saw you
[Chorus]
B
Why do I have to be so selfish
B
Oooooooh
Selfish
[Outro]
B
How stupid can I be
B
To think it’d be so easy to let go
B
Of the body that binds me
B
So I have to say goodbye
B
It’s decided I don’t have the option to be selfish
