Selfish

Life goes on from the dusk to the dawn
From old song to new song
And you find yourself on the path
You don’t want to be on

I sing songs I don’t like
To strangers every night
They don’t know me at all in this bar

Sometimes I wish I never quit smoking
I had meaningful conversations back then
So think a little stop drinking because of that
So fill your cup and spill your guts
This second’s all we have

And if the tears come you should own them
You should wear each one with pride
Cause I’ve been praying for so long

They were brought them from my own eyes
Everyday I try to look at the bright side
I guess that I’m selfish for thinking about myself

Time stops, a husband is taken
A two week old infant
With no father to raise him
Watch him become a man
In the worst of my struggles
He slipped through my hands

So mother would you take this advice?
There are some of us here
Who would like you to cry

And if the tears come could you own them
Could you wear each one with pride?
Cause we’ve been praying for so long

They were brought down from our own eyes
Everyday I try to look at the bright side
I guess that I’m selfish
For thinking about myself

I guess that I’m selfish
For thinking about myself
Yeah, I guess that I’m selfish
For thinking about myself
