about

This ethereal ballad is about our power to wield our ego, and the role it plays in relationships.

lyrics

Silent and slow
Creeping up on me
Never let go
That's what we promised
I know I feel it now
It's not in the shadows
The rhythm of our hearts
Is fighting a battle

I'll put my ego on pause
And I'll place your heart above
And I can do this because
You're the one for me my love

Play your cards right
That's what they tell me
This game is turning a fight
And I don't wanna keep playing
And when I push away
My mind is against me
Believe me when I say
When I say I'm sorry

I'll put my ego on pause
And I'll place your heart above
And I can do this because
You're the one for me my love

I'd rather be in the wrong for a moment
Than be the winner alone
And I may be misunderstood for a moment
I'd strip my soul to the bone

I'll put my ego on pause
And I'll place your heart above
And I can do this because
You're the one for me my love

I'd rather be in the wrong for a moment
I know it won't be in vain
And I may be misunderstood for a moment
I'll take that over your pain
