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 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 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
