Verse

My love is selfish,

 and I bet that your's is too.

What is this peculiar word called truth?

My love is selfish,

 and it cares not who it hurts.

 It will cut you out to satisfy its thirst

 For the meaning of the ritual, so habitual and cursed

My love is selfish,

 How it separates the earth.

 It takes every shiny stone but leaves the dirt,

 for the cowards in the corner who just don't know what they're worth

 They've been twisted by a hollow kind of pain.

 Oh I can see it in their eyes but I ignore it every day, because

my love is selfish,

 and it remembers everything

 Like the first time it was moved enough to sing

 How it dangled on that stage just like a puppet on a string
