Selfish Child

No I didn't think about you. I'm sorry. I'm bad, I'm wrong, you're right.
Does that make it better?

No, I was busy worrying about my own survival. Still I was there waiting for you,
Oh well, you weren't, my bad.

I guess what I'm saying is...
If I'm selfish for not thinking about you,
You are selfish for only thinking about you.

Get it? No? My bad. I guess I'm just bad. I'm no good. I know.

Might as well be good at that.
So there, I'll be the baddest, most selfish child I can be.

I'm not sorry. I had my own shit to deal with. You are part of that shit.
I'm not sorry. I wanted to see you suffer. You always took it out on me anyways. Always tried to get revenge for the naive things I did.

If a kitten scratches you, do you hold a grudge? You did, so I learned to sharpen my claws on you.

Selfish Child, I am.
