Selfish Lyrics

Destined to be everything
A wilderness of despair
I see a true heart in clumsiness
So are you fit to be scared?

I need to touch,
I'm the whore out of luck,
and I don't know what to say to you,
and I'm selfish with myself
Hope passes, hope looks,
can you cope, do you suffer, do you suffer,
and I'm selfish with myself

(And) I'm selfish with myself
(And) I'm selfish with myself

What comes around goes back round
and I was rejected today
and I came from nowhere, smell it in the air?
So can you live with yourself?

I need to touch, I'm the whore out of luck,
and I don't know what to say to you,
and I'm selfish with myself
Hope passes, hope looks, can you cope,
do you suffer, do you suffer,
and I'm selfish with myself

(And) I'm selfish with myself
(And) I'm selfish with myself

Lights are out now
Shout it loud now
Memories they fade
I'm selfish with myself
(I couldn`t figure out what he sings here, perhaps someone else can.)

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

It sounds like this is what he says at the end: "Now listen, there's the time, baby walk with me. we gotta ???? (sounds like toe to toe, or door to door?) with destiny, I said Girl, you must have faith in faith..."

That's just what I hear though....could be completely wrong! :)
