"Selfish (Stripped)" lyrics

Every high you took from me
And every low I felt so deep
I'm rising so high up off my knees
And everytime you watch me leave

I tell you over and over
I know that this is best for me
And now that we're over
Let's show the world who we could be

This time I'm being selfish, mmh
Don't mean that I'm not thinking 'bout you
Sometimes I'm being selfish, woo
It's only cause I love what I do
This is everything I want, I'm ready for it now
You ain't gonna tell me how
This time I'm being selfish, ooh

Running so fast to where I'll grow
You cannot take me from my home

I tell you over and over
I know that this is best for me
And now that we're over
Let's show the world who we could be

This time I'm being selfish, mmh
Don't mean that I'm not thinking 'bout you
Sometimes I'm being selfish, woo
It's only cause I love what I do
This is everything I want, I'm ready for it now
You ain't gonna tell me how
This time I'm being selfish, ooh no

I tell you over and over
I know that this is best for me
And now that we're over
Let's show the world who we could be
I tell you over and over
I know that this is best for me
And now that we're over
I'm finally learning how to be free

This time I'm being selfish, mmh
Don't mean that I'm not thinking 'bout you
Sometimes I'm being selfish
But it's only cause I love what I do
This is everything I want, I'm ready for it now
You ain't gonna tell me how
This time I'm being selfish, no
