Just Be Proud Lyrics

I have this image of you and me

Stuck in my brain like it's a memory

It's how I see us without all the lies

I've fabricated you with honest eyes

Your words of comfort, your false support

When I caught on to it, it struck a chord

You'd say you're happy if I'm happy for myself

When you'd just be happier with someone else

Tear down your walls, and while you're at it burn your bridges

If it's really true I cause you so much grief

Do what you have to, leave me here in stitches

Sorry that I asked you to just be proud of me

Getting back to basics, to the things I love

To the talents given me from up above

Without the toxic dissatisfaction to keep me down

I'll keep on writing songs until I drown

Tear down your walls, and while you're at it burn your bridges

If it's really true I cause you so much grief

Do what you have to, leave me here in stitches

Sorry that I asked you to just be proud of me
