I'm so selfish.
I think every time you see me,
You judge me;
Every time I speak,
You judge me;
Every time I laugh too loud,
Stutter, tell a story, or ask a question,
You judge me.

I think you must think of all
The negatives
And judge me
And that's so selfish of me to think.
Why?

Because I never stop to think that maybe
Just maybe
Every time I see you,
I judge you;
Every time you open your lips,
I judge you.
Every smile you share,
Nervous gestures you make,
Or conversations you start,
I judge you.

You probably know this
And you probably think I judge some things,
Maybe many things,
In such a negative light
But I don't.
I never could.

So I am selfish,
Beyond measure,
For thinking that you're thinking
So mean about me
Without thinking about your thinking
When it comes to you.
