Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Now, I know jealousy
I caught you talking to the real me
Can't tell you how unhappy that shit makes me
If you hear him calling
Promise you'll ignore him
[Verse 2]
He's kind of my enemy
Whenever I'm on to something good you see
He always waltzes in to spoil it for me
And I can see him starting
Wanna break my heart
Then that's the way to do it
[Chorus]
Glass bottomed ego
It's still afloat, but can't you see
The cracks appearing in the base?
[Verse 3]
There ain't no ejector seat
When you're longing for the sweet smell of self-esteem
And you got yourself as a backseat driver
[Verse 4]
Spill the un-spillable beans
And I dreamed every single impossible dream
I just can't remember any of the details
Let's just have a buzz
Because by the time I'm done
Fucking beating myself up
They'll be nothing left to love
I feel like the sequel
You wanna see but you were kinda hoping
They would never make
[Bridge]
Yeah, I'm the mystery man that's been unmasked
I'm getting caught in my own trap
I'm leaning in to kiss the past goodbye
Yeah, I'll be leaving now
I'm making tracks
And I doubt that I'll be coming back
Oh, the night is young
Baby, make it last
'Cause you know it's growing up so fast
[Chorus]
Glass bottomed ego
It's still afloat, but can't you see
The cracks appearing in the base?
