Proud Lyrics

This will destroy me,
And they will never see,
Just how the words of one man,
Could, somehow, bring me to my knees
Your pride is worth nothing here,
Watch the words that you speak.
Lest they should all figure out,
How well you fit amongst the weak
Are we the ones that we want to become?
Or do we just mirror the ones that
We came from?
We seem so indifferent about what they say
But deep down, you can't deny that,
It's not that way

We strive to be perfect
And it will kill us all
(Kill us all)

I know that inside,
I have tried to resist.
There's no more fighting it.
I will bleed for this.

I just want to hear you say it.
I need you to say it out loud.
Tell me I make you proud.
I just want to hear you say it.
Say it a little louder please,
Tell me you're proud of me.
No
Have I just doomed myself to
Fight a losing war?

Because this will destroy me
And I can only hope to find
That maybe something in their words
Could, somehow, calm my raging mind

It's fleeting to know
That there could be something more
And I'm just dying to know
What is it I'm really fighting for?
Please tell me!

I just want to hear you say it.
I need you to say it out loud.
Tell me I make you proud.
I just want to hear you say it.
Say it a little louder please,
Tell me you're proud of me.

I just want to hear you say it.
I need you to say it out loud.
Tell me I make you proud
I just want to hear you say it.
Say it a little louder please,
Tell me you're proud of me. 2x
(Is this enough?
Am I enough?)
