Lyrics
Giving Up My Pride
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
This strain you put on us is eating me alive.
I’m so tired of never knowing
If there’s any truth behind these lies.
It takes one to know one.
I’ve been here before.
I know what’s in store
You’re just another reason why I’m fighting this war.
For everything that I believe in.
Fighting this war.
For everything that I believe in.
I’m leaving my past behind
Because to grow is to give into your pride.
And everything I’ve found along the way
Has only taught me one thing.
And everything I’ve lost and loved that’s changed,
Has only made me better.
I was blinded; barely breathing.
You tried to shut me out,
But I could still see
How distant you’ve become.
So far gone from the rest of us.
I’m leaving my past behind,
Because to grow is to give into your pride.
I’m leaving my past behind,
Because I’m giving up my pride.
