Joyful Noiz - pride. Lyrics

So, here we go
Darling, do you want to know what I think
Oh, I'm just losing my mind, that's all
Oh, that's music to my ears
I'm too old to change
You know, I've never realized before that you were so versatile
Well, let's see if we got the facts straight
You know what? I like that idea. Yeah
Now, come now, the real reason, the truth
Oh, no doubt he does it to perfection
Oh, no
You don't seem to be yourself this morning, sir
I'm not
My daddy said I had too much talent to keep it all inside
Mama told me just be myself and never apologize
I wish I could live by what they said
Instead, I'm swallowed by
Fear of ever changing my mind and having to swallow my
Pride and arrogance to admit to myself I need to change
Take a sec, reflect, course correct, pick a different lane
How can I expect a new result when I do the same thing
Can't grow inside a drought that's plain insane
Yeah
Oh yeah
Whoa
I said I can't grow in a damn drought that's insane
And I already know I'm a liar
Ya tell me more than once, you're only preaching to the choir
Lost my girl, lost my mind, lost my fire
I lost my passion, my ambition, my desire
Tryna uphold my reputation, now it ain't worth shit
Cover up all the worst shit with some worse shit
Screaming, can you hear me, but I know you ain't heard shit
Praying for forgiveness that I know I don't deserve
No, I don't deserve shit, way too far from perfect
I'ma cry now and laugh later on some Durk shit
Working on myself late at night like it's third shift
Feelings on the paper, I'm an emotional wordsmith
Yeah, the beat is kinda simple, it got better when the verse hit
Wonder if this song will be the one to be my first hit
That would be ironic, cause this feeling is the worst shit
It's a two-sided story on some blessing and a curse shit
Pride gon' be the hardest pill to swallow
She gon' be the hardest act to follow
I wake up, I know I feel hollow
Too far gone, I'll try again tomorrow
Bit too much, I spent more than I borrowed
Cut my losses, get off the high road
I fall asleep, I'm still feeling hollow
It's too late, there's no more tomorrow
My daddy said I had too much talent to keep it all inside
Tryna uphold my reputation, now it ain't worth shit
Mama told me to be myself and never apologize
Cover up all the worst shit with some worse shit
I wish I could live by what they said, instead I'm swallowed by
No, I don't deserve shit, way too far from perfect
Fear of ever changing my mind and having to swallow my
It's a two-sided story on some blessing and a curse shit
I can't get you out of my mind
I can't get you out of my mind
I think about you all the time
I think about you all the time
