The Classic Crime
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. Mm
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 that 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
