Selfish
Jimi Somewhere Lyrics

Rest on me, rest on me
Lean on me and find comfort in my presence.

I feel your heavy heart
I realize that you're going through a tough time.

I don′t sleep, stay awake
I'm willing to sacrifice my own sleep to be there for you.

Counting every scar
I'm taking note of every hurt and wound you carry with you.

Each unique, each it's own
Each scar tells its own story and carries its own weight.

Like a set of stars
Together, they create a unique and meaningful pattern.

I see heaven, I see hell
I see both the good and the bad in you.

When you′re close and far
No matter the distance between us, I can still see you clearly.

I see everything you tell
I'm attuned to your thoughts and feelings.

In the way you are
Your behavior and demeanor say a lot.

I see every way you dwell
I take note of your habits and tendencies.

Over every part
I'm paying attention to every detail about you.

Just like a dream
It's hard to believe that this is reality.

You know these things really are
Despite the surreal feeling, this is really happening.

And I been feeling like I've fallen between
I feel caught between two worlds or two versions of myself.

And I be feeling like you fall out of reach
Sometimes it seems like you're too far gone to reach.

Yeah, so what am I to do?
I'm at a loss as to how to help.

You're sitting in my window
You've come to me seeking solace and refuge.

Think that I′m boring you
You worry that your problems are a burden to me.

Look at me different now
Your perception of me has changed.

That I got more than you
You feel like you can't measure up to me.

Your face it changed a lot
I can see the emotional toll this is taking on you.

And I don′t know what to do
I'm feeling helpless and uncertain.

Crazy how you still think of me as selfish
Despite my efforts to help, you still view me as self-centered.

Even when I let it all out
Even when I'm completely open and honest with you.

Fighting at your mom's house
We're having a heated argument at your family's home.

Got me feeling helpless
I feel powerless to change the situation.

I know how I sound
I'm aware that my behavior may not be ideal.

Worst come to worst
If things take a turn for the worst.

And I′ll see the door
I'll leave the situation if it becomes too much to handle.

Now you're on the floor
You're emotionally and mentally defeated.

Fight for an hour then fuck me some more
We argue frequently but also make up quickly.

I′m counting days
I'm keeping track of the time that's passing.

I'm counting nights like 1, 2, 3
I'm unable to sleep and am lying awake at night.

I don′t know how to save a life
I don't have the answers to fix everything.

I'm not Joe King
I'm not a superhero who can solve any problem.

You wish I could spend the night
You want me to stay with you for comfort and support.

Like we're children
Like we used to when we were young and carefree.

But we are not
But we've grown up and things are more complicated now.

Anymore
Things have changed and we can't go back to the way things were before.

Anymore
We have to face the present reality.

Anymore
We can't ignore the current situation any longer.
