Foolish Pride

She stayed up all night and cried into her pillow

And fought off the urge to just break down and call

Last night to find the fault seemed so darn easy

But now who's to blame don't matter much at all

She thinks if she calls him, it just shows weakness

So the hurt goes on with every tear she's cried

Ain't it sad to see a good love fall to pieces

Chalk another heartbreak up to foolish pride

Turn out the lights, the competition's over

The stubborn souls are the losers here tonight

And while the bridges burn

Another hard hard lesson's learned

As in the ashes, passion slowly dies

And this romance goes down to foolish pride

He relives every word they spoke in anger

He walks to floor and punches out the wall

To apologize to her, would be so simple

But instead he cries, 'I'll be damned if I crawl'

If he loses her, he's lost his best friend

And more than just a lover can provide

So he wrestles with emotions that defeat him

Chalk another love lost up to foolish pride
