Proof Lyrics by Phil Hancock

2019

[Verse 1]
This is not what I imagined
Always thought that I would fly before I’d fall
But I have come down crashing
And you’re the last one who saw me go
You wouldn’t miss out on the action
'Cause you love to see me spiral out of control
It gives you satisfaction
To watch this all going down in smoke

[Chorus]
I know you’d say you love me, I know you’d swear it truth
I’d hear you try convince me, but I never saw the proof
I know you’d say you love me
I never saw the proof
I never saw the proof

[Post-Chorus]
Oh why oh why did I ever let you into my circle
Oh why oh why did I let you get the best of me

[Verse 2]
You were not how I remembered
You were not what you had painted yourself to be
That part of you’s defective
And you’re taking it out on me
Do you ever feel you’re guilty
Coz I’m sorry seems way too hard to do
I’d like to introduce the real me
Coz he’s never met the real you

[Chorus]
I know you’d say you love me, I know you’d swear it truth
I’d hear you try convince me, but I never saw the proof
I know you’d say you love me
I never saw the proof
I never saw the proof
I’d hear you make a promise, then watch you break it too
I’d hear a thousand love you’s, but I never saw the proof
I know you’d say you love me
I never saw the proof
I never saw the proof

[Post-Chorus]
Oh why oh why did I ever let you into my circle
Oh why oh why did I let you get the best of me
Coz I oh I was always living in someone else’s shadows
It’s sad though that we’ll never know what could have been

[Chorus]
I know you’d say you love me, I know you’d swear it truth
I’d hear you try convince me, but I never saw the proof
I know you’d say you love me
I never saw the proof
I never saw the proof
I’d hear you make a promise, then watch you break it too
I’d hear a thousand love you’s, but I never saw the proof
I know you’d say you love me
I never saw the proof
I never saw the proof

[Outro]
Oh why oh why did I ever let you into my circle
Oh why oh why did I let you get the best of me
Coz I oh I was always living in someone else’s shadows
It’s sad though that we’ll never know what could have been
