Selfish

from Petal Lines EP by Lyra Jo

lyrics

i really wanted it to work i swear
but if that's true why didn't i try
secretly hoping that you'd come around
even after i pushed you away

i really wish you stayed
but i'd never admit it
my pride got in the way
you should've said let's try it
to see if this is real
how we feel
you should've told me i was wrong

i know i'm selfish i can't help my ways
can't let my guard down cause i'm still afraid
i know i'm selfish i want it to change
if i let my guard down will you be the same

maybe you were what i needed
but i was too blinded to see
can't figure out why i act this way
for once i'll tell the truth
i told myself in solitude

he makes me feel at home
why can't I just admit it
with him I don't feel alone
i wish i would've tried it
to see if this was real
how we feel
you should've told me I was wrong

i know i'm selfish i can't help my ways
can't let my guard down cause i'm still afraid
i know i'm selfish i want it to change
if I let my guard down will you be the same

what do i do now
sitting here alone with doubts
do i risk it again
should i wait till the end

what do i do now
that you're already gone
should i take back what i said
is it okay for me to feel this way

i know i'm selfish i can't help my ways
can't let my guard down cause i'm still afraid
i know i'm selfish i want it to change
if I let my guard down will you be the same
