Selfish
I'm already tired feel like I'm running out of time
Go to bed feeling wired, waking up is such a climb
Life's a precious balance, it's so hard to get it right
I'm walking on tightropes but I'm terrified of heights
And you want to put me in charge of a life
Drop all my aspirations, make my goal just to create one
A mother, a perfect wife
How could I throw that chance away
But I don't want to be a Mum
I have so many dreams and my journey's just begun
I love this life I've built
And it's not fair I have to face pressure and guilt
Now I'm done with hearing about how my clock is ticking
Done with feeling like I should
'Cause I don't want to be a Mum
And its not selfish if I say that I don't want kids
It's not because I've got no love to give
I just hate how we prescribe how everyone should live
And its okay if other things bring me joy
I still maintain a soft spot for my friend's little boys
But never put me in charge of a life
I've got my aspirations and I don't need to create one
A mother, a perfect wife
I'd rather go another way
'Cause I don't want to be a Mum
I have so many dreams and my journey's just begun
I love this life I've built
And it's not fair I have to face pressure and guilt
Now I'm done with hearing about how my clock is ticking
Done with feeling like I should
'Cause I don't want to be a Mum
And its not selfish if I say that I don't want kids
And I'm not the bad guy I'm just on a different path
By making this decision I know I incur society's wrath
But there's other things in life and its my body, my choice
You don't have to agree with me but please respect my voice
And never put me in charge of a life
I respect your aspiration if your goal is to create one
A mother a perfect wife
Whichever choice you makes okay
'Cause I don't want to be a Mum
I have so many dreams and my journey's just begun
I love this life I've built
And it's not fair I have to face pressure and guilt
Now I'm done with hearing about how my clock is ticking
Done with feeling like I should
'Cause I don't want to be a Mum
And its not selfish if I say that I don't want kids
And its okay to say if you don't want kids
Go to bed feeling wired, waking up is such a climb
Life's a precious balance, it's so hard to get it right
I'm walking on tightropes but I'm terrified of heights
And you want to put me in charge of a life
Drop all my aspirations, make my goal just to create one
A mother, a perfect wife
How could I throw that chance away
But I don't want to be a Mum
I have so many dreams and my journey's just begun
I love this life I've built
And it's not fair I have to face pressure and guilt
Now I'm done with hearing about how my clock is ticking
Done with feeling like I should
'Cause I don't want to be a Mum
And its not selfish if I say that I don't want kids
It's not because I've got no love to give
I just hate how we prescribe how everyone should live
And its okay if other things bring me joy
I still maintain a soft spot for my friend's little boys
But never put me in charge of a life
I've got my aspirations and I don't need to create one
A mother, a perfect wife
I'd rather go another way
'Cause I don't want to be a Mum
I have so many dreams and my journey's just begun

And it's not fair I have to face pressure and guilt

Done with feeling like I should
'Cause I don't want to be a Mum
And its not selfish if I say that I don't want kids

Done with feeling like I should
'Cause I don't want to be a Mum
And its not selfish if I say that I don't want kids
And its okay to say if you don't want kids
