Ego©

I wrote "Ego"one night after having a conversation with a friend, in which he explained how people have such crazy egos when it comes to dealing with relationships, and that if we simply let go of our egos, we would have better relationships. That was such an eye opening conversation, and I thought about the times when I let my ego get in the way, and how difficult it made things. Ego or pride can be brutal on a relationship. Why not apologize when you're wrong? Why is it so important to prove a point? You both know you're right, so why rub it in? If we each just give a little, and let the ego go....

Can you see past the bullshit
lay down all that makes you a man
entrust your heart to me
allow yourself to let go
Release Your Ego
Check it at the door
be willing to trust me
can you ignore the sirens in your head
and allow yourself to let go and
Release Your Ego
You have to be willing to love
willing to shed the pride
pride breeds probelms
Release Your Ego
Can you look at me and say baby I'm sorry
be willing to talk through our problems
allow me to have access to all of you
Release Your Ego
Sade sang it best, "Love is Stronger Than Pride"
or would you rather be alone
rather than have a queen at your side
Release Your Ego
And I'll release mine
let's see ourselves as friends and lovers
instead of adversaries
Baby Release Your Ego
Place your hands in mine
for in love we can conquer all
united we will never fall
Release Your Ego
But if you are not really willing
willing to let it all go
we'll never have the love
never have it all
Release Your Ego
In order to truly love
madly
passionately
deeply
You have to release your ego
And in that release
my heart is yours
my love is yours
Love me
Let it go
Release....
