Proud

You don't know how long it took

Chasing out my demons

You don't know how long it took

To know I wasn't cheated

You were the one that I looked to

Your words were meant to hold me

But you turned me away

It was hate that you showed me

So you can shut me out

But i will stand tall

And you can let me down

But I will be strong

He is the light that I turn to

And she is the love I'll never lose

So you can shut me out

But I will stand tall

And proud

You don't know how much I cried

Before I could utter the words

Your face is seared in my memory

A face that I didn't deserve

'Cause you were the one that I looked to

Your words were meant to hold me

But you turned me away

It was hate that you showed me

So you can shut me out

But I will stand tall

And you can let me down

But I will be strong

He is the light that I turn to

And she is the love I'll never lose

So you can shut me out

But I will stand tall

And Proud

Well maybe it's too late too late

To say what you didn't say

But I'll be ok

So you can shut me out

But I will stand tall

And you can let me down

But I will fly and soar

He is the light that I turn to

And she is the love I'll never lose

So you can shut me out

But I will stand tall

And proud

And proud
