Lyrics
an ego thing
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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
