Egoist Lyrics

She sat me down, looked deep inside

You've been living in a lie you hide

Decades passed, chasing shadows

Trying to fill others' endless sorrows

But now it's time to break that spell

Start living for yourself, live well

Be an egoist

The healer softly said

It hit me hard like breaking chains

All my life I'd learned to wait

Put myself at the end of the line

Now it's time to claim what's mine

I spent my youth pleasing the crowd

Now I see I've been too proud

Thinking I could heal their pain

While leaving myself out in the rain

Now it's time to let that go

Time to make myself the show

Be an egoist

The healer softly said

It hit me hard like breaking chains

All my life I'd learned to wait

Put myself at the end of the line

Now it's time to claim what's mine

Now it's time to claim what's mine

I won't apologize anymore

For putting myself first, settling the score

It's not selfish, it's what I need

To live, to thrive, to be freed

The weight's lifted off my chest

This life is mine, and I'll invest

Be an egoist

The healer softly said

It hit me hard like breaking chains

All my life I'd learned to wait

Put myself at the end of the line

Now it's time to claim what's mine

I'll live for me, I'll take my time

No more guilt, no more shame

Be an egoist, now I see

The only way to truly be free
