My dear ego (for M&D)

I need someone to keep me on this cloud
And it can't be you cause you always let me down

For my addiction, you give just enough
But never the amount to fully feel loved

You only need me a little bit
You need me enough to keep me addicted

You're more costly than diamonds, more precious than gold
But the sorrow you bring is a sight to behold

I tried you once and thought that I could let you go
I tried you twice and then you owned my soul

I lie to myself to keep this high
I let you possess me and make me blind

The crimes I commit for your narcotic charms
Seem worth the pleasure of being in your arms

I forget my morals and how I was raised
You are my conscience, you teach me your ways

You'll take everything: my guilt, my pride
Cause I'd sacrifice anything to have you by my side

I'm addicted to the feeling that you feed
I'm addicted to the attention I think I need

Tell me that I'm sexy so I think I'm sexy
Tell me that you love me so I can love me

I tell myself you're the only one that can do this
But if it weren't for you I'd find someone else to miss

Cause it's not really you that I'm missing here
It's the feeling of someone loving me dear

I'm addicted to getting attention and cheap thrills
I'm addicted to escaping from work, stress and bills

My ego, my dear ego needs to be fed
My dear ego begs to be misled

I beg to differ: this is mind over matter
Get myself together and kick you out of my head
