SELFISH LOVING

Nexuscjt

Am I selfish when it comes to loving?

I love you but think of my needs 1st all of a sudden

 

Are you true to me?

Or just playing along?

With the aim to convince me

That I’m the only one you’re loving

I want to feel for you

Make this feeling last long

With the aim of finding something real

And feel like I’m belonging


What if I let you down?

Let myself down

How do I recover?

All this time, cash & pleasure

Was it all in vein?

 

We are all selfish in different ways?

Some too hard headed to admit it

Take a good look in the mirror

And tell me you can’t conceive it!

In denial, delusional, emotionally unstable

I say red, you say blue

I say capable, you say incapable

 

Don’t think we can ever put aside our differences

And get along with one another

Show me some love, learn to bite your tongue, love like a brother

Learn to talk, learn to instruct

Without being arrogant

Learn to walk, learn to listen

Without feeling under attack

 

People sometimes speak for the sake of speech

Learn to appreciate more & practice what you preach

Life is too short, loved ones are precious

Don’t wait until it’s lost before you feel it like its infectious
