You're leaving
It would be selfish for me to beg you to stay
It would be selfish to tell you I need you here
It is selfish to say i don't know how I went 17 years without you and I don't want to return to that life
It is selfish so I won't
Although sometimes I think you want me to
To give you a reason to give up
Or to stay in this pond that is ten sizes to small for you
So you have to leave
And it is selfish
I will cheer you on
Tell you to follow your heart
I just wish it would lead back to me
This is selfish
I can't spend another night without you in my arms
Or another day in the sun without you next to me
I am selfish
I want to beg and plea
To say all you need is me
You are leaving
And I am selfish
And my heart aches
