Just to show that being selfless can make you selfish.
Always wanting what you can't have, always having what you don't want. We will never be happy.

You are everything that I want to be, you are better, you mean the world to me. I want you to be happy at the expense of mine. You may be everything, but it's all about me.

I envy the ones that I make smile, I'm self-righteously jealous of the ones happier than me. Everyone has their darkness within, I still try and deny it.

I want others to be happy, it's all that I pursue in life, and it makes me sick. Attempting to make myself happy, by means of you. If I see you cry, I die a little bit on the inside. You may be everything, but it's all about me.
