Misplaced Loyalty

i thought if i destroyed myself
you would fix me
i thought if i threw it all away
you’d shelter me
i thought if i drenched myself in pain
you’d understand me
maybe i could understand you too

but no
i misplaced my loyalty again

pride's gotta go
pride comes before the fall
gotta let it go
let it go before i lose it all

i thought i could decide to change
but it’s too engrained
i thought i could use my own will
but i’m losing still
i thought i had some kind of control
but my plans are through
selfish, self-centered too

oh
i misplaced my loyalty again

pride's gotta go
pride comes before the fall
gotta let it go
let it go before i lose it all
