Fighting For My Better Side

When you look at me
Tell me what do you see
Myself or the shadow on the wall
'Cause I can’t help but notice
One of those is bigger
Than it really seems
And as I’m growing older
It’s getting harder to smile
On command
And if you think I'm colder
And if you want to leave
I understand
Fighting for my
Better side
Holding on to who I
Think I am
Fighting for my
Better Side
Losing out to
My own mind
When you look at me
You don't know who I am
You seem confused
And I can't help but notice
My ego's getting bigger
Than it needs to be
And as I'm growing older
It's getting harder to smile
But I'll try for you
And if I'm growing colder
And if you want to leave me
I understand
I understand!
Fighting for my
Better side
Holding on to who I
Think I am
Fighting for my
Better Side
Losing out to
My own mind
If you're not careful,
This will control you
This will hold you
Like a child
It will call you by your name
Dying in its embrace
If you're not careful
This will control you
This will consume everything you do
Broken glass on a silver frame
So much has changed
But you feel the same
Fighting for my
Better side
Holding on to who I
Think I am
Fighting for my
Better Side
Losing out to
My own mind
