Selfish的詞曲作者是Daniel Powter。
這首歌的英文詞如下：
Verse 1:
I remember when I was young
Loved a girl but she was young too
Swept up in love it was just for fun
We kissed in the rain and we laughed at the stars up above
Chorus:
But now I'm all alone
And she's out there living on her own
And I'm wondering if she thinks of me now and then
And if she's feeling lonely when she's feeling like me
Verse 2:
I remember when we were young
We were selfish and we knew it
But that's what made it so much fun
Now I'm just a memory from her past that she can't shake
Chorus:
But now I'm all alone
And she's out there living on her own
And I'm wondering if she thinks of me now and then
And if she's feeling lonely when she's feeling like me
Bridge:
Oh no I'm still around her, maybe just not in her life
Oh no, if she cried for what we had I don't know if she'd find
Chorus:
But now I'm all alone
And she's out there living on her own
And I'm wondering if she thinks of me now and then
And if she's feeling lonely when she's feeling like me
Outro:
Oh no, I don't want to be selfish anymore. Oh no. Oh no.
我現在一個人，孤獨而彷徨。 她在那裡獨自生活著，無聊的空閒，回想著我們當年年輕時的那份自戀與輕狂。 如果她有感覺到寂寞，有如我當年一樣的感覺，這世界將無法忍受。 我現在只是她過去的一個記憶，她無法忘記。 我還在她身邊，只是不在她的生活中。 我無法知道，如果她為我們曾經擁有的愛情哭泣，她是否能找到答案。 我現在一個人，孤獨而彷徨。 我現在不該再自私了，我不想再這樣了。我應該成全她的人生，給她新的生活。我要將你記在心中，這是生命中必須付出的代價。所以請忘了我吧，也忘掉那些年少輕狂的夢想與執著。 讓我們現在一起面對新生活，共同探索未來吧。 後悔沒有用，明天的風會讓你放棄昨日的彷徨與彷徨。 所以我要去尋找新的人生道路，走出過去的痛苦與遺忘。 (歌詞摘抄自網上文本版本) 由於可能存在歌曲版本差異，歌詞可能略有不同。
