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