Verse 1:
We used to walk the same old way
With love too big for words to say
But then your eyes began to drift
And silence cut through every rift
Pre-Chorus:
You spoke but never heard me cry
You had to win, and I let it slide
Every wound I held inside
Till my heart gave up the fight
Chorus:
Ego… it killed us slowly
Turned our fire into smoke and misery
You never learned to bend or see
That love’s not meant to be a war, endlessly
Ego… it tore us apart
Even though love still filled our hearts
Verse 2:
I was wrong, I stayed too quiet
We burned it down with selfish riot
It wasn't love that went away
But understanding lost each day
Pre-Chorus:
We both were stubborn to the core
Too proud to open up the door
Now we're left with empty space
And a memory we can't replace
Chorus:
Ego… it killed us slowly
Turned our fire into smoke and misery
We blamed each other endlessly
Forgetting how to fight for"we"
Ego… it tore us apart
Even though love still filled our hearts
Bridge:
If I could turn back time somehow
I'd tell us both to calm down
To speak with love, not always right
To hold each other through the night
Outro (soft, fading):
Now you're gone, and I’m alone
All because…
Ego killed us…
