Love is selfish

He's gone with her
I hope it's the right choice
Don't let this be another mistake
Cause I paid the price

Hope that she loves him
More than I did
She owns him now
Has him to keep

Hope she takes care of him
And treasures him with all her heart
Maybe that was the reason
We were fated to part

Hope she gets back his love
And joy will follow them
He'll be her happiness
She'll be his gem

Hope nothing they do
Would be like the past us
Cause I'd hate to see
If they parted as fast

Hope he whispers the right words
Into her ears
The words he once said to me
Inviting my tears

Hope they are happy together
And I can forget him
It may be as easy
As you might think

Hope they have more pleasant memories
Than what I have had
Cause I'll eventually learn
And I'll stop being sad

Hope they laugh
More than they cry
That what he tells her
Is truer than a lie

Alas, I was just lying
Trying to forget
But I can't let go
Been lying in regret

Love is selfish
Selfish as can be
The real hopes are pinned on
That he'll be with me

She'll never love him
More than I did
But why does she own him now?
I want him to keep

She'll never take care of him
And treasure him with all her heart
I hope that's the reason
They will eventually part

She doesn't deserve his love
He'll just break them
Cause I love him more
I deserve his gem

I can't help but reminisce
About the past us
Cause I'd have him
If they parted as fast

He will whisper the right words
Into my ears
The words he'll say once again to me
I'll have no more tears

I'm sorry I'm selfish
Cause I really can't forget him
It seriously isn't as easy
As you might think

I want to relive our memories
The ones we have had
Cause what I was left with
Is nothing but sad

He'll come back to me
And I promise I won't cry
Cause what he tells her
Is as true as a lie

Love is selfish
Selfish as can be
The real hopes are pinned on
That he'll be with me
