Couldn't See Past My Ego

Wiser feeling, colder dreaming
Seventeen and lost his feelings
Finally started, broken hearted
Watch the world descend into his

Own
I couldn't see past my ego
Tried to say no, but I couldn't see past my ego

And another's undercover
Without thinking of his mother
Constant blaming, constant shaming
Watch the world descend into his

Own
I couldn't see past my ego
Tried to say no, but I couldn't see past my ego

Tried to, wanted to
Never said, never said, never said I could do any better
I tried to, I wanted to
Never said, never said, never said I could do any better than you

I tried to say no, but I couldn't see past my ego
(Well, I don't understand)
I tried to say no, but I couldn't see past my ego
(Well, I don't understand, oh)
