My love is selfish,
and I bet that your's is too.
What is this peculiar word called truth?
My love is selfish,
and it cares not who it hurts.
It will cut you out to satisfy its thirst
For the meaning of the ritual, so habitual and cursed
My love is selfish,
How it separates the earth.
It takes every shiny stone but leaves the dirt,
for the cowards in the corner who just don't know what they're worth
They've been twisted by a hollow kind of pain.
Oh I can see it in their eyes but I ignore it every day, because
my love is selfish,
and it remembers everything
Like the first time it was moved enough to sing
How it dangled on that stage just like a puppet on a string
