I realize that I’m not the center
Of anybody’s world except for mine
Which is probably for the better
Because I’ll self destruct in time
I try to lend a helping hand
But it’s fractured with no cast
And the shoulder I let you lean on
Is made of cracking glass
The sum of all our parts
Can’t compare to when we link arms
And the earth can’t revolve around us
If we stand so far apart
When you look at stars
Do you feel like you see death
Cause half of those stars are gone
And they aren’t coming back
I am so self-centered
The focal point of my existence
Losing grip on what really matters
Though I sat and watched it slip
The sum of all our parts
Can’t compare to when we link arms
And the earth can’t revolve around us
If we stand so far apart
The sum of all our parts
Can’t compare to when we link arms
And the earth can’t revolve around us
If we stand so far apart
In the grand scheme of things
My problems seem so small
Why do I sigh and then complain
When half the world doesn’t know my name
While there are babies shoes for sale
With a sign saying “never worn”
And there’s grief letters in the mail
Telling everyone she wont be born
Yet I demand all of your attention
Screaming look at me selfish bastard
While real people have real questions
And selfish pricks beg for all the answers.
