Cynic Lyrics by Local H

Ham Fisted

1995

[Verse 1]
Yeah, I made a promise to love myself
But somehow I don't think that I'm gonna make it

Yeah, is that me behind the screen?
I see some shapes, but I can't see any faces

[Chorus]
An ego might not be so bad
It could be something I should have
I can't make my mind up
Help me with this while I grip this
I made a promise to myself, but I think I need some help
If you see something that is good in me won't you tell me?
And maybe I'd be something you could stand

[Verse 2]
Yeah, I made a promise to love myself
I think this could be good for you as well as me

Yeah, I know I'm not that much fun
The joke I have become doesn't make you laugh

[Chorus]
An ego might not be so bad
It could be something I should have
I can't make my mind up
Help me with this while I grip this
I made a promise to myself, but I think I need some help
If you see something that is good in me won't you tell me?
And maybe I'd be something you could stand
Yeah!

[Bridge]
Here comes the doubt again
Here comes the doubt again
Here comes the doubt again
Here comes the doubt
Here comes the doubt again
Here comes the doubt again
Here comes the doubt again
Here comes the doubt
Here comes the doubt again
Here comes the doubt again
Here comes the doubt again

[Outro]
An ego might not be so bad
It could be something I should have
I can't make my mind up
Help me with this while I grip this
I made a promise to myself, but I think I need some help
If you see something that is good in me won't you tell me?
And maybe I'd be something you could stand
An ego might not be so bad
It could be something I should have
I can't make my mind up
Help me with this while I grip this
I made a promise to myself, but I think I need some help
If you see something that is good in me won't you tell me?
And maybe I'd be something you could stand
