Grace VanderWaal - Proud Lyrics

Grace VanderWaal Lyrics

"Proud"

Humble child, promise I'll be small
I won't take up space at all
Remember gratitude, you tell me I'm great
When I don't cry and I never ask for nothing
Ground yourself, remember your place
You don't have a voice yet, you don't get to say
Apologize, better self-correct
Promise it's the best if you never ask for nothing

'Cause baby, you're so special
Baby, you're so special

Designed and made
Does it impress how well I play?
Did I make you proud? Did I take your breath away?
Did I make you proud?
And I won't complain
Bend around the edge like cellophane
Did I make you proud? Did I take your breath away?
Did I make you proud?
'Cause baby, I'm so special

Nightmares blend into my daydreams
I'm everything you taught me
I'm everything you wanted me to be, wanted me to be
Perfection, hide under my blankie
For one moment of safety
I'm everything you wanted me to be, wanted me to be

Designed and made
Does it impress how well I play?
Did I make you proud? Did I take your breath away?
Did I make you proud?
And I won't complain
Bend around the edge like cellophane
Did I make you proud? Did I take your breath away?
Did I make you proud?
'Cause baby, I'm so special

(Did I make you proud?)
(Did I make you proud?)
'Cause baby, I'm so special
