Am I selfish for wanting you to stay?
Is it selfish for me to feel this way?
Every night when I come home
I have renewed hope that you will
Be there to greet me at my door
Every night when I come home
You are a hundred miles away still
I do not know what hope is for
Am I selfish for pleading with you?
Is it selfish for me to be this true?
Every morning I open my eyes
I believe you are lying by my side
Breathing softly near my cheek
Every morning I open my eyes
And remember I have been denied
By a love that makes me weak
Am I selfish for speaking my mind?
Is it selfish that I feel left behind?
Every day I nearly forget you
I remind myself I've loved before
This will not be my final shot
Every day I nearly forget you
I think I don't need you anymore
Only to remember what I forgot
