Selfish

Dried tears on my cheek
My eyelashes are damp
My heart is too weak

I can't stand the pain
Though it's my punishment to bear
I can't stand the thought
But my mind is already there

Were you mine to take?
Were you mine to break?
Were you mine to love?
Were you all of the above?

You would laugh if you saw me crying right now
I'm the one who broke our trustful vow

I'm the one who hurt you
I'm the one who left
Yet here I am alone, an emotional mess

You could say that I'm selfish, horrible, and naive
You could say that I'm evil and left you with much to grieve

You could say I did everything to tear us apart
But in all honesty
No one else but you is the owner of my heart.
