By the time i up and left
Took all my last pieces
I was the arrow head
you were holding the crossbow
I packed up all my bags
On the road a lonely stag
My eyes as cold as ice
I might as well have died
Ive got an alter ego
I know its in there somewhere
And its just a matter of time
Before i go and lose it
I"ve got an alter ego
I know, ive seen it before
And it"s just a matter of time till
Till i go and lose it
There"s a darkness in me
I don"t know who it"s gonna be
I wake up in the morning
Hoping i can hide me from you
I know i can be deadly
As long as i am steady
Words are as tough as steel
I don"t know what to feel
I might have to fight
I"ve got an alter ego
I know it"s in there somewhere
And it"s just a matter of time
Before I go and lose it
I"ve got an alter ego
I know, I"ve seen it before
And it"s just a matter of time till
Till I go and lose it
You saw my reflection in my bedroom mirror
Ran like a coward to go and see her
Even I couldn"t recognise myself
A different image I can"t even tell
But life brings a different sting
To every moment
And life goes on even if you dont move with it
From flying wings to boring things
to anything you"d like
There is always a darker side
If hell rises up, and angels come down know that there is a worse place
then what you have right now
I"ve got an alter ego
I know it"s in there somewhere
And it"s just a matter of time
Before I go and lose it
I"ve got an alter ego
I know, I"ve seen it before
And it"s just a matter of time till
Till I go and lose it
and lose it (an alter ego)
Lose it (an alter ego)
I might"ve lost it
I mightve lost it
I mightve lost it
I"ve lost it
