[Verse 1:]
I only thought of you and me
And never anything else
The time we spent together kept me sane
You helped me to be myself

What I didn't realize is that
The distance was breaking your heart
You put on your best disguise
But it was tearing you apart, baby
It was...

[Chorus:]
Selfish
Of me to give you my love
And tell you that we would never be undone

Selfish
To want you here everyday
We both knew we were much too far away

Selfish
To think there was nothing wrong with me
Helplessly 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

[Verse 2:]
Relying on the telephone
I hear you say good night
Was probably not the best way
To keep the commitment alive

After all the fantasies
I couldn't see past
What could of been (oooh)

You were a part of me
But unhappy to be
Could'nt handle it
'Cause it was...

[Repeat Chorus:]

[Bridge:]
Tell me
How can it be that I loved you
With all my heart
But I was heartless
I was oblivious to something
That was right in front of me
Oh Lord

Take this misery away
(Away)
It was...

[Repeat Chorus:]

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
