Pride Lyrics by American Authors

What We Live For

2015

[Verse 1]
My home don't feel the same
Last year flew by; goodbye to the good vibes
What we thought were the best times
Nights out with the people I love
Now I'm lost in the neighborhood
That raised me, praised me, made me who I am
But my father was twice the man
And now that pain's resurfacing

[Verse 2]
Brooklyn don't feel the same
Maybe I'm the one who's changed or the one to blame
Another drink down the drain
Ten more before I get on that plane
I swear I knew just what to say
It's all there on the tip of my tongue
But I don't feel good enough for anyone

[Pre-Chorus]
But I won't fold
I know cause I-I-I-I got this feeling

[Chorus]
I ain't never giving up, I ain't never ever, I ain't never ever giving up my pride
I ain't never letting go, I ain't never ever, I ain't never ever gonna sell my soul
I-I-I-I got this feeling
I-I-I got this feeling
I ain't never giving up, I ain't never ever, I ain't never ever giving up my pride

[Verse 3]
Pushed out of the family tree
Upside down, but it was a good life
I fell hard for the wine in France
I didn't call you back cause I was learning to dance
And this is who I'd become
It's all there on the tip of my tongue
Wish I was good enough for anyone

[Pre-Chorus]
No, I won't fold
I know cause I-I-I-I got this feeling

[Chorus]
I ain't never giving up, I ain't never ever, I ain't never ever giving up my pride
I ain't never letting go, I ain't never ever, I ain't never ever gonna sell my soul
I-I-I-I got this feeling
I-I-I got this feeling
I ain't never giving up, I ain't never ever, I ain't never ever giving up my pride

[Post-Chorus]
Take or leave who I am
Cause this is me

[Bridge]
Like a fish out of water
Do I belong here?
But I'm never gonna lose, I'm never giving up my pride
I'm lost in the ocean
Like a note in a bottle
But I'm never gonna lose, I'm never giving up my pride

[Pre-Chorus]
This is me, who I am

[Chorus]
I ain't never giving up, I ain't never ever, I ain't never ever giving up my pride
I ain't never letting go, I ain't never ever, I ain't never ever gonna sell my soul
I-I-I-I got this feeling
I-I-I got this feeling
I ain't never giving up, I ain't never ever, I ain't never ever giving up my pride

[Post-Chorus]
Take or leave who I am
Cause this is me (this is me)
