Tears of Pride Lyrics

I had turned off my feelings because they hurt so much

I didn't understand why I needed everyone to love me

It got kinda complicated when I'd had too much

I've had to bear my share of burdens, but now I've had a revelation

I realized it was meant to be this way

And I realized that I had been so brave

And now I am crying tears of pride

I finally realized I have always had me on my side

And so I did what I always do

I wrote a song for you

It's the best thing I can do

And as I thought about it, I was seeing with new eyes

That I'd been taken over by my stubbornness and pride

And the fear that always lingered somewhere, waiting deep inside

But I don't need to circumnavigate the world to finally find safe harbor

I realized that I could set myself free

Just because I know you are proud of me

And now I am crying tears of pride

I finally realized I have always had me on my side

And so I did what I always do

I wrote a song for you

It's the best thing I can do

Staring at the ceiling, not sure if I'm breathing

Wondering when things will bust

Does it even matter if there's one more disaster

When all we are is stardust

And so I did what I always do

I wrote a song for you

It's the best thing I can do

Oh now I am crying tears of pride

I finally realized I have always had me on my side

And so I did what I always do

I wrote a song for you

It's the best thing I can do
