Prideful Lyrics

I wish I never came off judgmental but sometimes I do

I wish that I could be more thoughtful in the way I pursue

But the gap between who I want to be and the man I see in the mirror feels too far

Is there hope for me or should I leave behind the dreams of who I could become?

I know I'm a broken man

Sometimes don't love who I am

Obsessed on things that I can't control

I hold pride inside of my hands

Let go so I can forgive

Myself and think of me less

Though it pains me to confess

No matter how hard I try to impress

Behind the curtains of my success

I'm still a mess

I wish I saw the eyes of my God when I look into yours

I wish I knew the things I do don't earn approval to give me worth

My heart believes if I can please the ones around me I can be content

But the truth is I've believed a lie that I'm defined by thoughts inside their heads

I know I'm a broken man

Sometimes don't love who I am

Obsessed on things that I can't control

I hold pride inside of my hands

Let go so I can forgive

Myself and think of me less

Though it pains me to confess

No matter how hard I try to impress

Behind the curtains of my success

I'm still a mess

I know there's an artist

This work that he started in me

He will complete

I know he's not finished

So I won't give in when I'm weak

I fight on my knees

He's working for my good

He's forming me through my mistakes

Changing my name

So don't you lose heart now

It's only the start and time you gave

Yourself some grace

I know I'm a broken man

Sometimes don't love who I am

Obsessed on things that I can't control

I hold pride inside of my hands

Let go so I can forgive

Myself and think of me less

Though it pains me to confess

No matter how hard I try to impress

Behind the curtains of my success

I'm still a mess
