Proud Lyrics by Buttons

Glimpse the Unthinkable

2015

Ever since I was young, I learned to fend for myself
Found I could get what I wanted if I walked on everyone else
I learned a lie, it was abundantly clear
That I could get what I wanted for what they wanted to hear
And then, I found myself all alone and broken
I don't wanna hate who I am anymore
I'm sorry for the damage I've done
Well, I just wanna know that if I were to die tomorrow
I could die happy alone
Since then, I've been depressed; I've got this hole in my chest
All of the bridges I've burned have become a smoldering mess
I am a wreck, I need to change who I am
Because the boy that I've been has made me a terrible man
And now, I find myself all alone and broken
I don't wanna hate who I am anymore
I'm sorry for the damage I've done
Well, I just wanna know that if I were to die tomorrow
I could die happy alone
I am spite, I am hate
I am greed and deceit, I am broken and fake
I am hurt, I am pain
I am loss and defeat, I'm a fucking mistake
I am blind, I am vain
I am death and disease, I am famine and plague
I am guilt, I am shame
But I'm trying to change
I don't wanna hate who I am anymore
I'm sorry for the damage I've done
Well, I just wanna know that if I were to die tomorrow
I could die happy alone
Well, I just want my parents to be proud of me
Proud to see the man I've become
Well, I just want my mother and father to see I'm trying
And be proud to call me their son
Well, I just want my mother and father to see I'm trying
And be proud to call me their son
