lyrics
Selfish Pride Lyrics.
Verse I.
There I was sitting by myself (by myself)
Not wanting help from nobody else (nobody else)
Thinking back on what you were to me (were to me)
Then I realized it wasn't meant to be (meant to be)
You never gave it a chance to grow
You only sent me your goodbye (sent me your goodbye)
The pain and sorrow that you caused inside (caused inside)
It was your selfish pride
Verse II
We used to talk from dusk ’til dawn (dusk ’til dawn)
But little did I know you only led me on (lead me on) (yeah girl you know you lead me on, damn)
In the back of my mind I wondered if you would stay (wondered if you ) No, No, No
You packed your bags and walked away (walked away)
You always point out when I was wrong
Never did it when I was right (did it when I was right)
Your point of view is the only thing in sight (thing in sight)
It was your selfish pride
Chorus (Repeat Once)
You said goodbye (said goodbye)
Selfish pride (selfish pride)
Usted ha dicho adios (adios)
Selfish pride (selfish pride)
Bridge
I never had the chance to let you know (you know)
That I loved you so (you so)
You flew away to run and hide
Because it was your selfish pride
Verse III
You never gave it a chance to grow
You only sent me your goodbye (sent me your goodbye)
The pain and sorrow that you caused inside (caused inside)
You always point out when I was wrong
Never did it when I was right (did it when I was right)
Your point of view is the only thing in sight (thing in sight)
It was your selfish pride
Chorus (Repeat Once)
You said goodbye (said goodbye)
Selfish pride (selfish pride)
Usted ha dicho adios (adios)
Selfish pride (selfish pride) It was your selfish pride.
(voice) You didnt even have to go that route, see I know what the truth is really about. You think its about you and its not, thinking about yourself, thats that selfish pride……selfish pride.
