SELFISH

ALL OF THE CHAOS, ALL OF THE PAIN,

THE WORLD SWIRLS MADLY INSIDE OF MY BRAIN.

I SEEK THE PEACE, THE LOVING KIND,

TO SETTLE THE HEARTACHE, THAT RULES MY MIND.

SO MUCH TO DO, SO LITTLE TIME,

WHERE WILL I BE, WHAT WILL I FIND.

AM I SO BLIND, THAT I CANNOT SEE,

THAT MAYBE A HEART IS MEANT TO BE FREE.

MAYBE I AM CONFUSING ALL THAT SHOULD BE,

FOR MY OWN SAKE, REPLACED WITH JEALOUSY.

I AM SO SELFISH TO WANT SOMETHING SO BAD,

MAYBE THAT'S WHY MY HEART IS SO SAD.

I KNOW THAT I SEE THINGS, BUT DOES A HEART LIE,

IS IT MY FAULT, WHEN OTHERS DO CRY.

TO SET THAT ALL FREE, TO WALK QUICKLY AWAY,

SO THE HEART THAT I LOVE, CAN FIND HIS OWN WAY.

STARE IN THE MIRROR AND WHAT DO I SEE,

A SELFISH SOUL, RESIDES INSIDE OF ME.

I SO WANT TO LOVE HIM, BUT WHAT DOES HE SEE,

IS IT THIS STRANGER, LOOKING BACK AT ME.

BE A GOOD PERSON, DON'T HIDE BEHIND LIES,

DON'T HURT OTHERS, TRY NOT TO DESPISE.

NEVER PRETEND OR PLAY WITH THEIR HEARTS,

GIVE THEM KINDNESS, WHEN THEY LIE IN THE DARK.

SHOW THEM THE PATH, SO THEY CAN SEE,

THAT THEY ARE NOT EMPTY, OR LESSER THAN ME.

TREAT THEM WITH KINDNESS, CARE AND RESPECT,

NEVER CAUSE HARM, OR FORCE THE NEGLECT.

MAKE THEM BELIEVE THERE IS SO MUCH MORE,

BY OFFERING YOUR HAND AND OPENING THE SOUL.
