Ego
The Saturdays Lyrics

We used to go together
We used to be together as a team

Looking after each other
We used to take care of each other

I thought that you were better
I believed in you and thought you were capable of more

Look at you (look at you, look at you, look at you)
I'm disappointed in how you've changed

You used to be so laid back
You used to be calm and easy-going

You always kept it so cool
You always maintained a composed attitude

I loved you cause of all that
I was attracted to those qualities in you

That's the truth (that's the truth, that's the truth, that's the truth)
I'm being honest and sincere

I don't think you know where your head is
I don't think you have a clear sense of direction or purpose

I was always there to help you break the fall
I was always there to support you in tough times

And now you wanna pretend that your a superstar
You're putting on airs and acting like a celebrity

And now you want us to end what's taken you this far
You're willing to break up the team despite our previous successes

Don't tell me that your done as far as we go
Don't say that you're finished with our group

You need to have a sit down with your ego
You need to take a step back and reassess your priorities

(When everyone's gone and you are by yourself)
When you're alone and don't have anyone else to turn to

You know that your gonna come to me for help
You know that you'll come to me when you need assistance

Don't tell me that it's time for going solo
Don't say that it's time for you to go your own way

You need to knock some sense into your ego (ego, ego)
You need to humble yourself and think more realistically

You act like you're on fire
You're acting impulsively and recklessly

Living your delusion
You're living in your own fantasy world

You just need you to take you higher
You're only concerned with your own personal success

Off you go (off you go, off you go) Yeah
You're leaving without any regard for anyone else

You can't make the call when you're ready
You can't always make important decisions on your own

I will not be here to help you break the fall
I won't always be around to bail you out of trouble

And when its time for you to come back down to
When you eventually hit rock bottom

Where you started, where we parted
Where you were before and when we split up

I think you'll find that it is very hard to face
It will be difficult for you to confront reality

Reality is a simple thing
The facts and truth are straightforward

(as far as we go)
Regarding our relationship and the success we've had together

You need to knock some sense into your ego (ego, ego, ego)
You need to get over yourself and start prioritizing the group
