about

this is a track i recorded myself at home. i wrote it after missing a flight back from london and a bit of a worrying phone call.. sad sad sad :)

lyrics

if it's my way i'm the selfish one,
i won't bother you another day
i won't ask for love i promise i'll leave you alone
if it's my way i'm the selfish one
i won't ask from you anything
i won't take from you anything
i won't ask for love or event the way to get home
so does everybody
have the same old worry
try to please themselves
and everybody else
giving half you can
never enough for them
give it all, and i always lose who i am
i'm feeling sick from these angry words
don't take me down with what you say
don't speak to me, i'll bury myself anyway
