"Somebody's Proud Of You" lyrics
Feels like fighting to the death just to get up out of bed
When your very best is see-through
And nobody knows the real you
Motivation's just a ghost, every day's an all-time low
'Cause they'd rather sugarcoat you
Than take a single step in those shoes
So if no one understands you and no one's got a clue
And no one gives a damn 'bout what you're going through
Never listen to the blind
'Cause they'll never see the times when–
You lived when you wanted to die
You tried when you wanted to cry
When you had no one there to show you love and kept getting up when
You were so sick of saving yourself
And no one cared you were going through hell
I hope you hear this song and know it's proof (Ooh-ooh)
Somebody's proud of you
Oh
Somebody's proud of you
Validation's never been an acquaintance, much less friend
And empathy is just a stranger that
Lives in the basement with your anger
You still twist that tongue in knots while they misconstrue your thoughts
Overexplain the things behind you
Or else you know they'll demonize you
So if no one understands you and no one's got a clue
You win some and you lose most, baby, that's the truth
Never waste your time on them
'Cause they'll never comprehend how–
You lived when you wanted to die
You tried when you wanted to cry
When you had no one there to show you love and kept getting up when
You were so sick of saving yourself
And no one cared you were going through hell
I hope you hear this song and know it's proof (Ooh-ooh)
All the times your friends don't ever show
And your parents say it's overblown
They'll dig your six foot holes, use them as space to grow (Ooh-ooh)
All the times they only see your flaws
And give you reasons for more camouflage
Just put your fingers up and live to call their bluff
You don't need to prove a damn thing
You decided you're enough when–
You lived when you wanted to die
You tried when you wanted to cry
When you had no one there to show you love and kept getting up when
You were so sick of saving yourself
And no one cared you were going through hell
I hope you hear this song and know it's proof (Ooh-ooh)
Somebody's proud of you
Oh, oh, oh-oh
Somebody's proud of you
When your very best is see-through
And nobody knows the real you
Motivation's just a ghost, every day's an all-time low
'Cause they'd rather sugarcoat you
Than take a single step in those shoes
So if no one understands you and no one's got a clue
And no one gives a damn 'bout what you're going through
Never listen to the blind
'Cause they'll never see the times when–
You lived when you wanted to die
You tried when you wanted to cry
When you had no one there to show you love and kept getting up when
You were so sick of saving yourself
And no one cared you were going through hell
I hope you hear this song and know it's proof (Ooh-ooh)
Somebody's proud of you
Oh
Somebody's proud of you
Validation's never been an acquaintance, much less friend
And empathy is just a stranger that
Lives in the basement with your anger
You still twist that tongue in knots while they misconstrue your thoughts
Overexplain the things behind you
Or else you know they'll demonize you
So if no one understands you and no one's got a clue
You win some and you lose most, baby, that's the truth
Never waste your time on them
'Cause they'll never comprehend how–
You lived when you wanted to die
You tried when you wanted to cry
When you had no one there to show you love and kept getting up when

Somebody's proud of you
