Selfish

Life goes on from the dusk to the dawn.
From old song to new song.
And you find yourself on the path you don't want to be on.
I sing songs I don't like to strangers every night.
They don't know me at all and it's wrong. Mmm.

Sometimes I wish I never quit smoking,
I had meaningful conversations back then.
Don't think I'll ever stop drinking because of that.
So fill your cup and spill your guts this second's all we have.

And if the tears come you should own them,
you should wear each one with pride
Cause I've been praying for so long,
they were rolled down from my own eyes.
Everyday I try to look at the bright side.

I guess that I'm selfish for thinking about myself.

Time stops a husband is taking.
A two week old infant, with no father to raise him,
Watch him become a man.
In the worst of my struggles seem to slip through my hands.
So mother would you take this advice?
There are some of us here who would like you to cry.

And if the tears come could you own them,
could you wear each one with pride?
Cause we've been praying for so long,
they were rolled down from our own eyes.
Everyday I try to look at the bright side.

I guess that I'm selfish for thinking about myself.
I guess that I'm selfish for thinking about myself.
Yeah, I guess that I'm selfish for thinking about myself.
