Ego Lyrics by Halsey
I’m caught up in an every day trend
Tied up on invisible thread
Walking down on razors, been edged
And I wake up tired, think I’m better off dead
Been a few months since I crossed all the state lines
Talked to my mom, fake smiles are for Facetime
Drink all night and I can’t hear all the street lies
Feel so low but I’m high at the same time
I can’t keep my feet on the ground
And I’m nervous what you think of me now
I’m hoping that someone comes around
And helps me figure it out
I think that I should try to kill my ego
‘Cause if I don’t, my ego might kill me
I’m all grown up but somehow lately
I’m acting like a fucking baby
I’m really not as happy as I seem
I’m still a little kid that can’t make friends
I wanna be invited but I won’t pretend
I’ve been having bad dreams my career could end
Because I slipped my point, I should’ve played pretend
I turned eighteen and I left the city
I said, “I wanna be cool, I don’t wanna be pretty”
Voices all came crashing down
Said, “You’re too nice to run this town”
I can’t keep my feet in the ground
And I’m nervous what you think of me now
I’m hoping that someone comes around
And helps me figure it out
I think that I should try to kill my ego
‘Cause if I don’t, my ego might kill me
I’m all grown up but somehow, lately
I’m acting like a fucking baby
I’m really not as happy as I seem
Nothing’s as it seems
No, nothing’s as it seems
And I’m all grown up but somehow, lately
I’m acting like a fucking baby
I’m really not that happy being me
I don’t like the lie I’m livin’
Way too nice and too forgiving
Wanna go back to the beginning
When it all felt right
A rooftop on the Eastside, I’m singing
Didn’t really give a fuck if I was winning
It’s all gone now, who am I kidding?
I do it way worse than I’m admitting!
I think that I should try to kill my ego
‘Cause if I don’t, my ego might kill me
I’m all grown up but somehow, lately
I’m acting like a fucking baby
I’m really not as happy as I seem
Nothing’s as it seems (As it seems, as it seems)
No, nothing’s as it seems
And I’m all grown up but somehow, lately
I’m acting like a fucking baby
I’m really not that happy being me
