Alter Ego

If you had met her, you might not want to know me

She's a killer, not a kind, gentle lady

Makes you stumble a bit, from the tone that she speaks

She makes you wonder if your life isn't complete

But she gives you the world, not like me

I wish I could be more

She can make you happy not like me

I'm not like her, but she can be

Darling

If you met my friend

She's wild, she's a bit unkempt

I'm sorry, but she can't be kept beneath the rose and thorns for long

I hope she didn't cause too much disturbance

But she's loud and rude and perfect

I wish I could be more fearless like her, I'm not so sure

But she's the one you want, or hate, don't blame me

I'm just her alter ego

I'm sure she gave you plenty of reasons to hate me

Told you lies about who I am, how I say things

She's a siren, drawing your ship to the rocky seas

But she could hold the reins, she's not like me

She's everything I wish I could be

Never apologizing for the things that shouldn't ever be

If you met my friend

She's wild, she's a bit unkempt

I'm sorry, but she can't be kept beneath the rose and thorns for long

I hope she didn't cause too much disturbance

But she's loud and rude and perfect

I wish I could be more fearless like her, I'm not so sure

But she's the one you want, or hate, don't blame me

I'm just her alter ego

Oh no. Oh no. I can hear the wisp of her voice

Tell me, no, no. She's not happy, though I'm trying

I'm scared of what she'll say, I can't be portrayed that way

I see the camera flash, it's over now

Darling

If you met my friend

She's wild, she's a bit unkempt

I'm sorry, but she can't be kept beneath the rose and thorns for long

I hope she caused a big disturbance

Cause she's loud and rude and perfect

I wish I could be more fearless like her, I'm not so sure

But she's the one you want, or hate, don't blame me

I'm just her alter ego

I'm just her alter ego
