Verse 1
Now's the futureIsn't it strangeYesterday I sworeThings couldn't changeWatch it play out in real timeLike a doomsday prophecy
That takes one lineIt's all it needs
Pre-Chorus 1
Ooh it came trueJust not the way we expectedThe way I wanted it toIt hurt and I let it
Chorus
It's a dark and selfish worldAnd no one wants to shareOur dark and selfish thoughtsBut they're not going anywhereI only want to loveAnd it's eating me insideI dream about the lovers being buried half alive Verse 2
Here's my angleAnd now you knowI'm not so discreetI'm honest thoughI could make up some storyBut I'm blessed more than I can seeI'm so, so blindTo what tethers me
Pre-Chorus 2
Ooh I measure you
By how close you are to meBut there's another tooAnd I'm knit by my envy
Chorus 2
I'm a subtly selfish girlAnd I care that I don't careMy dark and selfish thoughtsAre not going anywhereI taste things in my sleepThat would make somebody crySomeone I know would loathe me if they saw inside my mind
Verse 3
I want control of youHe says I want control of you
What you don't see under the sun
The flesh is weakBut it's already done
