Selfish

You were in my dreams again last night
It's the time you forgot my birthday
That scene replays and again I'm
Alone on my doorstep waiting
While in my mind
I worry you're
Dead or hurt
Or mad at me
And you never arrive

I'm sorry
I'm selfish like you said
I'm sorry
I'm a terrible friend
But I never
Missed one of your events
I'm sorry
I shouldn't be so upset

If you weren't so selfish
I might get through to you
If you weren't so scarily good
At telling everybody what to do
Maybe in your mind
You think that you're alone
But from my eyes
I'm the only depressed kid I know

I remember when we had that fight
Sitting there disassociating
While you scream at us in broad daylight
I'm free since I went my own way
I'm better without
I'd rather be
Healthy, happy, my own friend
Like you wouldn't allow

I wish I'd been
Selfish like you said
Guess you gotta
Hurt to get ahead
And I never
Missed one of your events
So why do I
Miss what you'd never been

If you weren't so selfish
I might get through to you
If you weren't so scarily good
At telling everybody what to do
Maybe in your mind
You think that you're alone
But from my eyes
I'm the only depressed kid I know

If you weren't so selfish
I might've seen it through
If you weren't so scarily good
At telling me that we could start anew
Maybe in your mind
You think that you're alone
But in my life
I'm the only helping hand I know
