Selfish

Woke up on the wrong side of the bed today

Started reading the news

So many broken-hearted people

So many people out there confused

Woke up just a bit angry at myself

Feeling like there was nothing left

Counting on my hands all the reasons

To feel nice and sorry for myself

And I'm selfish and I do not deserve you

You and me, we both know it's true

But I'll still find a way to keep you up at night, you know

You know I do

Oh, love is on our side

Oh, and I won't give in this time

Won't I ever be good?

Can't I ever be good?

Won't I ever be good? Huh

Went to bed angry

Making lists of all the things you said

Realized my way of thinking was tragic

Tragic in my head

And I'm neurotic to say the least

But at least I think things through

And I been thinkin' of spending my life

Or at least a good amount of time here with you

So I'm sorry if I ask questions

And I'm sorry if I second guess

But I've made a whole lot of mistakes

And this time, this time I'm trying my best

Oh, but love is on our side

Oh, and I won't give in this time

Love, love, you're always on my mind

Oh, and lover, won't you please be mine?

Won't I ever be good?

Can't I ever be good?

Won't I ever be good? Huh

Sadness makes us selfish

Happiness makes us kind

Your love makes me a better person

Gives me cleanliness of mind

I wanna see things in a new way

I wanna do things that are right

I wanna make up for what I've lost

I'm seeing some, I'm seeing some kind of light

And your love, it gives me purpose

Your love makes me wanna grow old

And I'm sorry for all the broken pieces

I swear, some day I'll be whole

And sometimes I'm tired

Sometimes my life's a mess

But I'm building myself back

This time, this time I'm trying my best

Oh, but love is on our side

Oh, and I won't give in this time

Love, love, you're always on my mind

Oh, and lover, won't you please be mine?

Oh, and lover, won't you please be mine?
