Selfish (Explicit) - Dave/James Blake

What if I'm selfish?

What if I'm the reason behind it?

What if I'm overprotective with family because of how mine is?

What if I'm jealous?

Maybe that's what's making me nervous

What if my effort of pulling you close are pushing you further?

What if I'm selfish?

What if the reason they call me "The Greatest"

Is also the reason that me and you livin' on different pages?

What if I'm too much?

What if I settled and I didn't fight?

What if my fear of doing it wrong's the reason

I haven't been doing it right?

What if I'm selfish?

What if the kids just wanna be kids

And don't wanna live in and out of the news and chill

And don't even wanna be rich?

And what if I'm so self-centred that

I don't even realise what I could miss?

And what if I'm what if I'm fallin' in the abyss?

Maybe it's

What if I'm

Yeah

Maybe it's dark maybe it's day maybe it's too many nights in L.A.

Look at the house in Surrey and still

All of the feelings we hid in the Hills

Maybe it's you maybe it's me maybe the media or the provoking

Gave you my heart I laid it bare funny you went and you poked it

What if it's better with me out the way?

What if it's better with me out the

Like what if it's better with me out the way?

What if I'm poison?

What if I'm cancer?

What if I'm dangerous and I'm wild?

Look in my eyes you're seein' a child

What if he's broken?

What if he's scared?

What if he's ostracised and vilified?

See peace is just an illusion

Ain't got a home I live in confusion

What if I'm selfish?

Forever forever forever

I manage the symptoms forever

You can love how you want

I know to give is no loss

Can you settle for second?

Let go of your idea of heaven?

I know it's a lot

But it might be all that I've got

I wanna throw myself in

Snap off the mask

I want a clown that sings

And a love that lasts

I wanna escape the wedding

Go with you to the carriage

I wanna give you my life
