Ego

(album: Precious - 2023)

Streets getting cleaned when I stumble home
The lights in the bodega are always on
I hope I'm different and that I've changed
There's another line in the grey on my face

See, I've done some bad things and I know their names
I hope they remember me too
Oh, yeah
It's like a sickness inside of me
But there's nothing that the doctor can see

Oh, oh
See, I fell in love with chasing hearts
'Cause I wasn't good enough from the start
So, I let my ego drive me
Why do I need to be loved?

So, I drank away all of my self-esteem
And I hurt the ones, oh, the ones I love
Don't wanna end up just a lonely man
At a bar telling his glory stories
No, yeah

So, I fell in love with chasing hearts
'Cause I wasn't good enough from the start
So, I let my ego drive me
Why do I need to be loved?
Oh, no

Said I need to be loved
Said I need to be loved by you
I need to be loved
No, no, no, baby
Said I need to be loved
I said I need to be loved
I need to be loved
Now, baby

'Cause I fell in love with chasing hearts
'Cause I wasn't good enough from the start
Baby
I let my ego drive me
Said I need to be loved
Now, now, sugar
Said I need to be loved
Said I need to be loved
