| Think it’s time to admit a few things
|
| I’ve been feeling some way
|
| About the cynical man I’ve become
|
| Love can be such a difficult thing
|
| And the pain that it brings
|
| Can be confusing and leave you undone
|
| And I’m here, but I’m gone
|
| Just a space where I was
|
| So I think that I’m done
|
| But you should know that you did nothing wrong
|
| You maybe wondering why I seem cold
|
| I’m just being selfish, yeah, I’m on hold
|
| I need to be cruel to be kind
|
| And tell you what’s on my mind
|
| I need to be selfish
|
| I, I need to be selfish
|
| I need to be selfish
|
| So, tell me please that this all makes sense?
|
| Say that somehow this puts your mind at rest
|
| 'Cause this isn’t me, who I wanna be
|
| I’d never act so indifferently
|
| But I can’t even say that I’m sorry
|
| That I’m here, but I’m gone
|
| Just a space where I was
|
| So I think that I’m done
|
| But you should know that you did nothing wrong
|
| You maybe wondering why I seem cold
|
| I’m just being selfish, yeah, I’m on hold
|
| I need to be cruel to be kind
|
| And tell you what’s on my mind
|
| I need to be selfish
|
| And it might be more than a minute that I need to take
|
| It would be wrong for me to ask you to sit and wait
|
| That would be selfish
|
| No it’s not like I’m calling this off for anybody else
|
| No other reason, I just need a moment to myself
|
| I need to be cruel to be kind
|
| I need to be cruel to be kind
|
| You maybe wondering why I seem cold
|
| I’m just being selfish, yeah, I’m on hold
|
| I need to be cruel to be kind
|
| And tell you what’s on my mind
|
| I need to be selfish
|
| I, I need to be selfish |
