Tell Me You’re Proud of Me Lyrics by Shepard Merritt

Happiness is a Habit

2020

Yeah, tell me you're proud of me
Tell me you love what I do and it's making a difference just stop looking down on me
I need some words of encouragement I like to feel good tell me you can count on me
I get caught up in the balancing
What you want me to be and what I wanna be stop trying to figure me out
I think I'm probably out of it
I hate that I feel the need to be needed
Beautiful mind if you're taking the scenic
I feel confined when you tell me I'm peaking
But beauty uprises whеn I feel defeated
I rap likе I'm part
Of a pack and I know
How to act when I feel
Like I'm trapped in my head
But I'm grasping for breath
And I can't understand
What I think of myself
Or of anyone else
So if anyone's seen my opinion
I've been too hung up with not making decisions
I hate feeling like I am not independent
It's been way too long I've grown to hate my feelings
I need you to tell me you're proud of me
Tell me you love what I do and it's making a difference just stop looking down on me
I need some words of encouragement I like to feel good
Tell me you can count on me
I get caught up in the balancing
What you want me to be and what I wanna be stop trying to figure me out
I think I'm probably out of it
2am on the call of duty zombies
Sour patch kids till we can't feel our tongue we
Chew till we die like the man dr Monty
Just to escape how the real life haunts me
Yeah, guess what I did
He's in my head again
Blasting my music to block out that elephant
Wonder if this is irrelevant
Give up on something I'm way too invested I
Leaving them with
Disbelief and I'm just
Barely breathing I think
That they're sleeping on me
I've been dreaming to be
What I'm fixing to be and
For it to start rolling is crazy I need you to
Tell me you're proud of me
Tell me you love what I do and it's making a difference just stop looking down on me
I need some words of encouragement I like to feel good
Tell me you can count on me
I get caught up in the balancing
What you want me to be and what I wanna be stop trying to figure me out
I think I'm probably out of it
I wrote on my desk with a sharpie
I don't act the same if you watch me
Sometimes I can't breathe when I'm talking
If I stand and pray I start falling
I know I did good but I need you to tell me
My desire to be liked is unhealthy
I'll take advice if I like what you're selling
Content with my problems no effort in helping
Watching the office again
Just to feel better at night
Just to feel comfort in life
Just to feel something alike
The demons are chasing my mind
And I could escape if I tried
But I don't like facing the climb
Its hard to embrace it but I
Need you to
Tell me you're proud of me
Tell me you love what I do and it's making a difference just stop looking down on me
I need some words of encouragement I like to feel good
Tell me you can count on me
I get caught up in the balancing
What you want me to be and what I wanna be stop trying to figure me out
I think I'm probably out of it
