[Verse 1] Too proud to text you back, Too cold to say I miss you. I watched your name light up my screen And let the moment slip through. I walk around like I own this town, Like nothing gets under my skin— Funny how the loudest voice in the room Is just a ghost keeping everyone in. [Pre-Chorus] I had a thousand things to say, But pride stood right in the way. Now I’m arguing with your shadow At the end of every day. [Chorus] Big ego, small mind, Leaving good things far behind. Wearing gold like I’m a king, While an empty room is the only thing I ever learned to rule. Big ego, cold heart, Always knew how to play the part. Thought I had it figured out, Now I’m the only ghost around. [Verse 2] Never wrong, never weak, That’s the script I memorized. I could win every argument, And still lose you right before my eyes. I said, “I don’t care,” like I meant it, And choked on the lie underneath. Funny how I kept my dignity... And starved the only love I’d keep. [Pre-Chorus] I had a thousand chances To put my armor down, Instead I watched my stubbornness Build walls without a sound. [Chorus] Big ego, small mind, Leaving good things far behind. Wearing gold like I’m a king, While an empty room is the only thing I ever learned to rule. Big ego, cold heart, Always knew how to play the part. Thought I had it figured out, Now I’m the only ghost around. [Bridge] (Acoustic strumming, building up tension) So drop the shield. Let it fall. I don’t wanna be the king at all. (Drums kick in heavily) Take this crown, Let it break— I’ll trade my pride for one more day! No more games, No more lies, No more pretending I’m fine inside! If loving you means losing face, Then let me lose it all today! [Final Chorus] (Full band explosion, soaring vocals) Big ego, small mind! I was leaving love behind! Wore my gold like it meant something, But a crown ain’t worth a damn When you’ve got nobody to love. Big ego, cold heart! I was the reason we fell apart! Now the mirror’s telling me the truth: The only monster I had to beat Was never you — it was me. [Outro] (Stripped back, emotional fade out) Take the crown... Burn it down. I don’t need it anymore. No more pride. Nowhere to hide. If you come back... I’ll open the door. (A single guitar chord rings out, then silence)
