Patrick Stump - Love, Selfish Love Lyrics

From the Album: Truant Wave


I hear you've got your troubles, or so I've been told
Maybe just a couple but I'm not quite sold
I'm indifferent to the difference between tomorrow and today
Less an indiscretion than a lesson I've been paid
And the stages of recovery can signify your age
Like rings around a stump
That's something I know a little bit about child
Lately it's been getting a little bit crazy
I don't want to be complaining

All my friends go to bed
Dreaming up a reason they should weep weep and all my friendship
Go to the ends of the earth for secrets they don't want to keep

Well this is my confession, yes yes
This is me confessing: god bless the sad and selfish stay helpless
Cause I've always been stronger than that
Hold the weight of the world on my back
It's just love, selfish love
Love selfish love

I've got nothing to confess
Yes
I've got nothing to confess
Yes

It's too easy to be scared sometimes
I'm not gonna lie like I don't understand
But it's like the whole is jumping off the bridge
And you don't want to be the one standing on dry land

Well this is my confession, yes yes
This is me confessing: god bless the sad and selfish stay helpless
Cause I've always been stronger than that
Hold the weight of the world on my back
It's just love, selfish love
Love selfish love

I've got nothing to confess
Yes
I've got nothing to confess
Yes

All my friends go to the ends of the earth for secrets they don't want to keep

Well this is my confession, yes yes
This is me confessing: god bless the sad and selfish stay helpless
Cause I've always been stronger than that
Hold the weight of the world on my back
It's just love, selfish love
Love selfish love

I've got nothing to confess
Yes
I've got nothing to confess
Yes
