If I told you not to go Would you trust me and never leave If I told you to stay with me Would that be something that will ruin you dream Sometimes I wish I was As selfish as everyone else So I can keep you here All for myself But we both know It's not what you need And we both know I'm not who you need If I ask as you to come back to me Would that be too much coming from me If I told you that I'll wait for you Will you be burdened by the image of me Sometimes I wish I was As selfish as everyone else So I can keep you here All for myself But we both know It's not what you need And we both know I'm not who you need 'Cause by the time you start to head home And gather your things I already know the name That you will instantly heed And we both know I'm not who you need And we both know That it's never me Sometimes I wish I was As selfish as everyone else So I can lie to you And tell you one last thing I am the one you need I am the one you need
