Doesn’t every one wish they had someone who they can blame all their mistakes on?
Well I have that excuse
It wasn’t me,
It’s never me
I didn’t do it
The other one’s the one to blame
It follows me like a shadow












Who is always happy when I’m sad?
My Alter ego
Who is always at ease when I’m mad?
My alter ego
Happy
Sad
Calm
Mad
My alter ego


It’s the whisper of mischief in my ear
It tells me all the things that I don’t want to hear
I guess you could call it the voices
But really it not me is the one who makes the choices












Who’s always happy when I’m sad?
My alter ego
Who’s at ease when I’m mad?
My alter ego
Happy
Sad
Calm
Mad
My alter ego

It’s everything I’m not
And nothing I want to be
It loves anger, hatred, jealousy
And those are things I don’t want to see

Who’s always happy when I’m sad?
My alter ego
Who’s at ease when I’m mad?
My alter ego
Happy
Sad
Calm
Mad
My alter ego


But there is no alter ego
It is an excuse
There is no alter ego
Even when I’m scared
There is no alter ego
It was never there
Now I can look in a mirror and see
No alter ego
Just me
No alter ego
Just me
No alter ego it’s just me
