Lyrics
Selfish
Words and Music: Jason Van Meter
Thinking about all those things that you did
Wondering why you said what you said
You know I?ve tried all I could to invite you
But you never really cared about me, so why should I even try?
(Chorus)
You don?t give a damn about no one but yourself
I?ve known you awhile that?s how you?ve always been
Take a look around you now and see what you have lost
All because you?re selfish once again
I guess in your heart, you really don?t know me
I?m someone you?ll never understand
Cause I can be real to people who love me
That glowing mask around your ears is wearing thin
(Chorus)
I know you think you had the right to stick your nose in
But when was the last time you were really in love?
I figure it?s cause you won?t do anything on your own
You were never one to get off your ass
(Chorus)
All because you?re selfish once again
