Selfish

"Selfish"

I know you think it's wrong

For me to want you to be here

At any time

On any day

Whenever I need you

And I know you think it's wrong

That I depend on you

To feel loved

To feel alive

But am I really to blame

For my selfish tendencies

When we were built with default settings

To protect ourselves no matter what

And am I to blame

For falling in love with someone

Who thinks I'm a basket case

But I also can't blame you

For your own selfishness

For wanting to be alone

And for wanting your space

Because you too were built

With default settings

And we're all just fighting

To stay alive
