Is it selfish?
Not to take a helping hand?
To be loved,
But can’t love in return?
If you weren’t taught to love...

And what if,
If you weren’t taught to be loved
Would it be selfish to turn down,
The one who loves you?

Is it selfish,
Not to trust,
A word what’s been said to you
Is it wrong,
If you don’t trust yourself

Is it selfish,
If you can’t bear your friends?
To have them around you?
Because they love you

Could you ignore a helping hand,
But crying because you had to?
Would you be missunderstood?
Would they think you’re selfish?

If it is,
I would be the world’s greatest....

.... in being selfish
