Selfish Lyrics by Delara

Shahrazad

2023

You're so selfish (You're so selfish)
Trying to protect yourself (Trying to protect yourself)
You know we're blood?
That's one unbreakable bond
And your father needs your help

[Verse 1]
Guess those walls were too big for us
Walls in the middle of us
Those walls really split us up
And none of us could tear them down
I could knock, but you wouldn't hear a sound
I'd talk, but you'd never really listen
Now it's been about, what, 5 or 6 years
All I know is that you're out there
Living

[Pre-Chorus]
Looked for you on graduation day
Hoping I would see your face
But I know that for some people pain can be a prison
Some get stuck forever overthinking
You got way too busy pointing fingers
Life is way too short for pointing fingers

[Chorus]
You're so selfish (You're so selfish)
Trying to protect yourself (Trying to protect yourself)
You know we're blood?
That's one unbreakable bond
And your father needs your help
Was I really that selfish?
Trying to protect myself?
I was 16 years old, living in the cold, stuck between two hells

[Verse 2]
How much longer do you wanna play the blame-game?
All along you've been digging in the past thinking that you can bury ghosts
Feeling sorry for yourself, bitterness is your best friend
I'll always wish you the best, I swear
I swear

[Pre-Chorus]
Looked for you on graduation day
Hoping I would see your face
But I know that for some people pain can be a prison
Some get stuck forever overthinking
You got way too busy pointing fingers
Life is way too short for pointing fingers

[Chorus]
You're so selfish (You're so selfish)
Trying to protect yourself (Trying to protect yourself)
You know we're blood?
That's one unbreakable bond
And your father needs your help
Was I really that selfish?
Trying to protect myself?
I was 16 years old, living in the cold, stuck between two hells

[Outro]
So now you're gone, I guess it's over
Now you're gone, is it really over?
Now you're gone, I guess it's over
Now you're gone
Is it really, is it really over?
