Lyrics

an ego thing

Guns drawn, slow down It's a battle over something stupid They're all the rage right now You don't know the truth It's a battle that I think I'm winning Something makes me think you think that too I was trying to be honest You don't make that easy to do It's not that important It's none of your concern But you got angry And said some angry words It's not that I hate you I hate that it hurt There's nothing else to it I can't do anything more, mm Sharp knife, loaded gun There are two ways we can do this I know which would be more fun I won't go first, won't apologize Pretty sure that it's an ego thing But I can't stand a compromise I was trying to be honest But now I think I should've just lied It's not that important It's none of your concern But you got angry And said some angry words It's not that I hate you I hate that it hurt There's nothing else to it I can't do anything more, mm Ooh-oh I was trying to be honest If this is what I get, I won't be honest anymore Oh If this is what I get I swear I won't be honest anymore
