Lyrics:

Selfish
Capo 2 Em G B7 Cadd9

If I were to end myself
You know that would be selfish

My parents probably get divorced
and blame each other
and never recover

My brother probably get doped up
And Wonder why he wadnt good enough
Cuz theyd forgot all about him
And he’d probably hate my guts

I don’t wanna selfish
Cuz I know I’m important
Mom I know that you love me
So I shouldn’t be selfish no

I don’t wanna selfish
Cuz I know I’m important
Dad I know that you love me
So I shouldn’t be selfish no

If I were to end myself
I know it would be messy

My grandma probably meet me there
Cuz her life couldn’t take it
They’d say she died of a heartbreak

But baby cousin looks just like me
I don’t want to put that pain on my family
Cuz when they look at her
All they’d think about is my memory

I don’t wanna selfish
Cuz I know Im important
And I know that you love me
So I shouldn’t be selfish no

I don’t wanna selfish
Cuz I know you important
And I know you all love me
So I shouldn’t be selfish no

That’s why I pop a med on a day to day
So I can have control on my mental state
You don’t wanna see me without a bandaid
Cuz my emotions be all over the place

That’s why I go to friends whenever I’m sad
And listen to them when their upset
When I mirror, validate, and empathize with others
I know that how I ain’t gonna be

Selfish
