I’m selfish in a good way

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

When I take your feelings

And spin them into mine

Reading storms into your silence

That were never in your mind

I get tangled up in stories

Lose the truth beneath the pain

I’m not the center of the universe

I’m learning that again

I breathe in grace before I speak

I let the moment be

I pray to be selfish in a good way, yeah

To fill my cup so I can give away, yeah, yeah

Let my heart be open, not afraid

Yeah, I pray

To be selfish in a good way

(Selfish in a good way)

Selfish in a good way

(Selfish in a good way)

There are things that I am wanting

Dreams that pull me down the road

But if I don’t look beside me

Other hearts can’t share the load

So I’m learning how to listen

How to blend your needs with mine

Love is more than taking turns

It’s harmony in time

I breathe in grace before I act

Let kindness lead me back

I pray to be selfish in a good way, yeah

To fill my cup so I can give away

Let my heart be open, not afraid

Yeah, I pray

To be selfish in a good way

(Selfish in a good way)

Selfish in a good way

(Selfish in a good way)

No shame in needing comfort

In holding my own hand

If I care for my own body

I stay steady, brave, and strong

And when I help another

I feel joy light up my soul

That kind of selfish feels like love

And love is always gold

And I pray to be selfish in a good way, yeah

To fill my cup so I can give away, yeah

Let my life be guided by what I pray

Yeah, I pray

To be selfish in a good way

(Selfish in a good way)

Selfish in a good way

(Selfish in a good way)

Oh, Oh it’s okay

I’m selfish in a good way
