lyrics

Call it what you need to
You know it hurt me too
You are not the only
Person that is here

Maybe I am selfish
My sister always taught me
To do what is best for
Yourself first

And maybe you just can’t afford to take the blame today
maybe your whole world revolves around other people's thinking
But I know what I want and I want it to be for me
And I know what I want and I want it to be for me

And I’m just getting tired
Of our friends talking sides
It is all just chatter
When you’re looking from outside

I just don’t believe in
Any right or wrong
Just how people treat you
And how you treat ‘em back

And maybe i just can’t afford to take the blame today
Maybe my whole world revolves around other people's thinking
Do you know what you want do you want it to be for you x 2

And you see I have just been waiting
For a silence to break
Give me something I can work with
Instead of pushing this away
But I don’t know what I want - do I want this to get better and you don’t know what you want you would’ve said something clearer
No you don’t know what you want, you would’ve said anything at all
