Selfish lyrics

I only thought of you and me and never anything else
The time we spent together kept me sane, it helped me to be myself
What I didn't realize is that the distance was breaking your heart
Even under you're best disguise, it was tearing you apart, baby.
It was...

Selfish, of me to give you my love and tell you that we would never be.
Selfish, to want you here everyday, even though we were much too far away.
Selfish, to think there was nothing wrong, leave me helplessy hanging on to you
Selfish, my heart was stuck in denial, there were too many miles between us

Didn't wanna hurtcha baby, never meant to hurtcha baby (didn't wanna hurtchu baby)
Didn't wanna hurtcha baby, never meant to hurtcha baby

When I am on the telephone I hear you say goodnight
Was hard to not the best way to keep the commitment light?
After all the fantasies, I couldn't see past, what could it be?
You were a part of me, but it had to be, oh it had to
'cause it was..

Selfish, of me to give you my love and tell you that we would never be.
Selfish, to want you here everyday, even though we were much to far away.
Selfish, to think there was nothing wrong, to leave me helplessy hanging on to you
Selfish, my heart was stuck in denial, there were too many miles between us

Tell me, how can it be that I loved you with all my heart but I was heartless, I want to believe that there was still something I was running from, oh no, take this misery away, away.
It was...

Selfish, of me to give you my love and tell you that we would never be.
Selfish, to want you here everyday, even though we were much to far away.
Selfish, to think there was nothing wrong, to leave me helplessy hanging on to you
Selfish, my heart was stuck in denial, there were too many miles between us

Didn't wanna hurtcha baby, never meant to hurtcha baby (never meant to hurt you baby)
Didn't wanna hurtcha baby, never meant to hurtcha baby
