Selfish (remastered)

[Verse 1]
I’ve been fighting with my shadows,
Trying to find the light,
But every word you leave unspoken,
Keeps me up at night.
I know I’m not the hero,
I’ve made my share of wrongs,
But losing you would break me,
I’m really not that strong.
[Pre-Chorus]
Maybe I’m asking for too much,
Maybe I’m holding on too tight,
But I can’t stand the thought,
Of you walking out of my life.
[Chorus]
Tell me that you hate me,
Say I never made you feel at home,
Call me every name you need,
If it helps you let me go.
Say that I’m the reason,
You’ve been breaking all along,
Just don’t say you’re leaving,
Don’t tell me that you’re gone.
[Verse 2]
I replay every moment,
Looking for the signs,
When did we start falling?
When did we cross the line?
I never meant to hurt you,
I never meant to make you cry,
But the thought of losing you,
Kills me every time.
[Pre-Chorus]
Maybe I’m asking for too much,
Maybe I’m holding on too tight,
But I’d rather fight the distance,
Than let you say goodbye.
[Chorus]
Tell me that you hate me,
Say I never made you feel at home,
Call me every name you need,
If it helps you let me go.
Say that I’m the reason,
You’ve been breaking all along,
Just don’t say you’re leaving,
Don’t tell me that you’re gone.
[Bridge]
Why am I still breaking,
When I told you that it’s fine?
Why am I still aching,
Pretending I’m alright?
I put on my bravest face,
I swore I’d let you go,
But my heart’s still holding on,
To a love I used to know.
[Outro]
You can blame me if you need to,
I’ll carry all the blame,
But don’t leave me in silence,
Don’t vanish with my name.
Call me selfish if you want,
I’ll take every hit,
Just don’t tell me that you’re gone
