I wish I could be selfish

I want this, I want that, but no go ahead. I'm fine without it so you can take it.

Sure I'll help you with this, but I want something in return

This has to be vague or it'll give it away I say.

I want more then this and that, I want you, and I feel like I need you, but I can't be selfish enough to try and get that, I just have to be subtle about it and always act like I didn't really want that.  It is okay. They can have it.
