a selfish god

Куплет 1:
I thought that I could be divine, it's clear,
I know it sounds too egocentric here.
I love myself much more than I love you —
So can you still be called my lover? Tell me true.

Куплет 2:
I need you, yes — I need someone who'll be
In love with me more than they love themselves, you see.
That could have been you, if you want it too,
If that's the thing you're really willing to do.

Припев:
When the last crumbs of earth fall on the coffin's lid,
They'll say: "She left her friends and parents, selfish kid."
I only wanted to live happily.
Is that so selfish? Tell me honestly.
And if I can't be selfish now, alright —
Then I'll be selfish when I die at night.

Куплет 3:
Perhaps I don't need you, that's not a lie,
I'll forget you faster than you'll even ask why.
Does it hurt? I'm sorry — but I know the cure:
Just keep on needing me and loving me, for sure.

Куплет 4:
I can be your only one if you agree,
Because I want to be your universe's center, see?
I don't have to touch — just sit beside,
And talk to me like I'm your angel, satisfied.

Бридж:
God loves his children, people, all around,
If I'm a holy creature — why not take what I've found?
Why shouldn't I just love you, my own fan?
That's the best plan.

Финальный припев (повтор):
I need you, I need you — the one who'll be
In love with me more than themselves, you see.
I think it's selfish, yes, I know it's true —
But honestly? I don't care what you do.
