My own ego
Won't let me go
Keeps me tethered
To the man I used to know
Makes me reckless
And sometimes jealous
If I let it
It'll lead the show
My own ego
My own ego
Won't leave me alone
It's always bitching
'Bout the things that I don't have
Fame and money
And unrealized dreams
Keeps me living
In the future or the past
My own ego
Won't let me go
It's always right there
When I'm broken down
It's my prison
Sometimes my best friend
It doesn't seem to care
When it comes around
My own ego
Even at my best I'm holding out
All it takes is a moment to turn it all around
My own ego
Won't let me go
It's always right there
When I'm broken down
It's my prison
But sometimes my best friend
It doesn't seem to care
When it comes around
My own ego
My own ego
My own ego
My own ego
