(Lisa Lindebergh/Andreas Karlegard) Impossible vain You told me I was totally without shame I thought to myself This kind of luck is my middle name Boy you need to know Sometimes I think I'm out of my head The bigger the words The stranger I feel So give me a chance to explain And erase all bad things I've said You tell me I'm selfish,delirious That's not what I am I tell you I'm speechless,Do do do do You know who I am I've got a little sparkle,Do do do do Inside of me And you tell me I'm selfish,delirious In between days I wanna paint a rainbow To cover all the gray In between days I wanna kiss and tell to end This game we play I wish you could read my mind You tell me I'm selfish,delirious That's not what I am I tell you I'm speechless,Do do do do You know who I am I've got a little sparkle,Do do do do Inside of me And you tell me I'm selfish,delirious Tell me do you cry I cry all the time Tears that are turning to ice I cry Sparkle come alive Sparkle that melt I I wish you could read my mind You tell me I'm selfish,delirious That's not what I am I tell you I'm speechless,Do do do do You know who I am

    Impossibly vain
    You told me I was totally without shame
    I thought to myself
    This kind of luck is my middle name
    Boy you need to know
    Sometimes I think I'm out of my head
    The bigger the words
    The stranger I feel
    So give me a chance to explain
    And erase all bad things
    I've said

    (Chorus)
    You tell me I'm selfish (selfish), delirious
    That's not what I am
    I tell you I'm speechless, Do do do do
    You know who I am
    I've got a little sparkle, Do do do do
    Inside of me
    And you tell me I'm selfish, delirious

    In between days
    I wanna paint a rainbow
    To cover all the gray
    In between days
    I wanna kiss and tell to end
    This game we play
    I wish you could read my mind

    [Chorus]

    Tell me do you cry
    I cry all the time
    Tears that are turning to ice
    I cry
    Sparkle come alive
    Sparkle that melt I

    I wish you could read my mind

    [Chorus]

    Selfish
    (that's not what I am)
    That's not what I am
    (that's not what I am)
    That's not what I am

    (selfish)
    (that's not what I am)
    (selfish)
    (that's not what I am)
    (selfish)
