Karaoké Ego Halsey

I'm caught up in the everyday trend

Tied up by invisible thread

Walkin' down a razor-thin edge and I wake up tired

Think I'm better off dead

Been a few months since I crossed over state lines

Talk to my mom

Fake smiles over FaceTime

Drink all night 'till I can't walk a straight line

Feel so low but I'm high at the same time

I can't keep my feet on the ground

And I'm nervous what you'll think of me now

I'm hopin' that someone comes around and helps me figure it out

I think that I should try to kill my ego 'cos if I don't my ego might kill me

I'm all grown up but somehow lately

I'm actin' like a fuckin' baby

I'm really not as happy as I seem

Still a little kid that can't make friends

Wanna be invited but I won't attend

I've been havin' bad dreams my career could end 'cos I slip up when I should've played pretend

Turned eighteen and I left the city

I said I wanna be cool

I don't wanna be pretty

The voices all came crashin' down and said You're too nice to run this town

I can't keep my feet on the ground

And I'm nervous what you'll think of me now

I'm hopin' that someone comes around and helps me figure it out

I think that I should try to kill my ego 'cos if I don't my ego might kill me

I'm all grown up but somehow lately

I'm actin' like a fuckin' baby

I'm really not as happy as I seem

Nothin's as it seems

Yeah nothin's as it seems

And I'm all grown up but somehow lately

I'm actin' like a fuckin' baby

I'm really not that happy bein' me

I don't like the lie I'm livin'

I'm way too nice and too forgivin'

I wanna go back to the beginnin' when it all felt right

A rooftop, Lower East Side

I'm singin'

Didn't give a fuck if I was winnin'

It's all done now so who am I kiddin'

I'm doin' way worse than I'm admittin'

I think that I should try to kill my ego 'cos if I don't my ego might kill me

I'm all grown up but somehow lately

I'm actin' like a fuckin' baby

I'm really not as happy as I seem

Nothin's as it seems

Yeah nothin's as it seems

And I'm all grown up but somehow lately

I'm actin' like a fuckin' baby

I'm really not that happy bein' me
