Selfish

What if I told you
a little secret.
What if I told you
something I'm keeping.
What if it was something 
you could never have guessed.
What if it was something
I hide from the rest.

And if I told you
Would it change how you see me
Would it alter our relationship
Would it take yo away from me
Why should I risk it
I don't want you to be a ghost
Maybe I'm selfish if I never told you so.


What if I told you
something I would rather hid
something that's unfair to you.
But just to keep you by my side. 
What if I altered a couple of the facts?
Would that really make me bad?

And if I told you
Would it change how you see me
Would it alter our relationship
Would it take yo away from me
Why should I risk it
I don't want you to be a ghost
Maybe I'm selfish if I never told you so.


There's got to be secrets worse than mine.
There's got to be some silver light.
I can barely face it,
I'm barely holding on.
Wouldn't it be worse to spread the hurt already going on?

And if I told you
Would it change how you see me
Would it alter our relationship
Would it take yo away from me
Why should I risk it
I don't want you to be a ghost
Maybe I'm selfish if I never told you so.
