Selfsame Songtext
von Mobley

Now I′ve done as you asked me
Will you stay? Will you stay?
Now I've done what you asked me
Can I stay here?
You know I never wanna see, never wanna see you alone again
Because I never wanna be, never wanna see me alone

I was born with my eyes wide open
And I won′t start hoping on a star right now
You try to tempt me with your store-bought passion
But your forethought flashes in the dark
Somehow, we hurt each other for the selfsame reasons
There's a sad, strange treason in the heart
And you say you will, but you know you'll never move from where you are


I was young and un-emptied
Unafraid, unafraid
I was young, and you bent me
To your way here
I get the feeling that you′re not feeling that you′ve got me alone again
And if you're feeling that I′m not feeling it, I'm not coming home

′Cause I was born with my eyes wide open
And I won't start hoping on a star right now
You try to tempt me with your store-bought passion
But your forethought flashes in the dark
Somehow, we hurt each other for the selfsame reasons
There′s a sad, strange treason in the heart
And you say you will, but you know you'll never move from where you are

She's a downhearted dancer (She′s a downhearted dancer)
But she taught me a lesson (But she taught me a lesson)
′Cause if we are the answer ('Cause if we are the answer)
Then you′ve asked the wrong question

I was born with my eyes wide open
And I won't start hoping on a star right now
You try to tempt me with your store-bought passion
But your forethought flashes in the dark
Somehow, we hurt each other for the selfsame reasons
There′s a sad, strange treason in the heart
And you say you will, but you know you'll never move from where you are
