Love, Selfish Love



I hear you've got your troubles, or so I've been told

Maybe just a couple but I'm not quite sold

I'm indifferent to the difference between tomorrow and today

Less an indiscretion than a lesson I've been paid

And the stages of recovery can signify your age

Like rings around a stump

Oh, that's something I know a little bit about, child

Lately, it's been getting a little bit crazy

I don't wanna be complaining, complaining, oh



All my friends go to bed

Dreaming up a reason they should weep, weep

And all my friends go to the ends of the earth

For secrets they don't wanna keep



Well this is my confession

Yes, yes

This is me confessing

God bless

The sad and selfish

Stay helpless



Cause I've always been stronger than that

Hold the weight of the world on my back

It's just love, selfish love

Love, selfish love



I've got nothing to confess, yes

I've got nothing to confess, yes

I've got nothing to confess, yes

I've got nothing to confess, yes



It's too easy to be scared sometimes

I'm not gonna lie like I don't understand

But it's like the whole world is jumping off the bridge

And you don't want to be the one standing on dry land



All my friends go to the ends of the earth 

For secrets they don't wanna keep



Well this is my confession

Yes, yes

This is me confessing

God bless

The sad and selfish

Stay helpless



Cause I've always been stronger than that

Hold the weight of the world on my back

It's just love, selfish love

Love, selfish love



I've got nothing to confess, yes

I've got nothing to confess, yes

I've got nothing to confess, yes

I've got nothing to confess, yes



Yes, yes

This is me confessing

God bless

The sad and selfish

Stay helpless



Cause I've always been stronger than that

Hold the weight of the world on my back

It's just love, selfish love

Love, selfish love



I've got nothing to confess, yes

I've got nothing to confess, yes

I've got nothing to confess, yes

I've got nothing to confess, yes
