Every high, you took from me
And every low, I fell so deep
I'm rising so high, above my knees
And every time, you watch me leave
I tell you over and over
I know that this is best for me
And now that we're over
Let's show the world who we could be
This time I'm being selfish
Don't mean that I'm not thinking about you
Sometimes I'm being selfish
But its only coz I love what I do
This is everything I want
And I'm ready for it now
You ain't gonna tell me how
This time I'm being selfish
Running so fast, to where I'll grow
You cannot take me from my home
I tell you over and over
I know that this is best for me
And now that we're over
Let's show the world who we can be
This time I'm being selfish
Don't mean that I'm not thinking about you
Sometimes I'm being selfish
But its only coz I love what I do
This is everything I want
And I'm ready for it now
You ain't gonna tell me how
This time I'm being selfish
I tell you over and over
I know that this is best for me
And now that we're over
Let's show the world who we can be
I tell you over and over
I know that this is best for me
And now that we're over
I'm finally learning how to be free
This time I'm being selfish
Don't mean that I'm not thinking about you
Sometimes I'm being selfish
But its only coz I love what I do
This is everything I want
And I'm ready for it now
You ain't gonna tell me how
This time I'm being selfish
