Fragile Ego

I call her up, she lets it ring, A twisted game, I’m still her thing. She keeps me tethered, pulls the strings, I bite my tongue, accept the sting. Her laughter cuts, it draws me near, A poisoned echo I always hear. I’m in the mirror, who’s this man? A shadow chasing her demand. Chorus And I stay, though it breaks me down, A fragile ego lost and found. Her love’s a war I’m doomed to fight, But I keep crawling back each night. Verse 2 Her words are thorns, but I don’t care, I wear the wounds like they’re my share. I know she’s out there, running wild, But I’m the fool, her loyal child. I tell myself, “This time it’s done,” But when she calls, I come undone. The hollow pride, it fills my veins, An endless loop of love and pain. Chorus And I stay, though it breaks me down, A fragile ego lost and found. Her love’s a war I’m doomed to fight, But I keep crawling back each night. Solo (Instrumental builds with raw emotion, reflecting inner conflict.) Bridge I see the truth, it’s painted clear, But walking away feels insincere. I’d rather hold the weight of lies, Than lose her flame and say goodbye. Chorus And I stay, though it breaks me down, A fragile ego lost and found. Her love’s a war I’m doomed to fight, But I keep crawling back each night. Outro So here I stand, a hollow shell, The price of love, a private hell. I’d leave her grip, but I don’t know how, She owns my soul, and I let her now.
