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