"PROUD OF YOU" lyrics
Dear inner child it's time we had a talk
I think that we should break the bread and rise above it all
Before it gets dark and then we've lost another day
Hoping that the bad dreams will go away
We went through shit that no kid should ever go through
And closed up on everyone that we were close too
'Cause we were terrified that everyone would leave
So we clinged onto love we knew we didn't need
Developing ways of dealing the pain
That made us go insane
I guess it's normal when you come from a broken home
You feel like you'd be better off going on your own
And there were days when it got too much
But we've all been there so who I am to judge?
But we preserved through all the tears
So I'm here to say from the bottom of my heart
I just wanna tell you that I'm proud of you
Even on the days you don't feel good
But I'm so happy that you chose to stay
I just wanna tell you that I'm proud of you
You've dealt with more than anyone should
And that's why I'm gonna praise you every day
'Cause I just wanna tell you that I'm proud of you
I just thought you should know
I just wanna tell you that I'm proud of you
I just thought you should know
Dear inner child, our work is overdue
So I'm sorry that it took so long
You tried to call but my phone was on silent
Defense mechanisms on autopilot
But I found some ways to make the greys
A little better
So whatever it is, small or big
We'll do it all together, I
I just wanna tell you that I'm proud of you
Even on the days you don't feel good
But I'm so happy that you chose to stay
I just wanna tell you that I'm proud of you
You've dealt with more than anyone should
And that's why I'm gonna praise you every day
'Cause I just wanna tell you that I'm proud of you
I just thought you should know
I just wanna tell you that I'm proud of you
I just thought you should know
Dear inner child, I'm glad we made it out
And finally got a piece of life we always talked about
I got some help and started working through the battle scars
We're fucked up in the brain but we're still good at heart
So keep me close when you need a friend to stick around
You knew me way back then, I know you better now
Dear inner child, you've always got a friend in me
And I promise that I'll never leave
I just wanna tell you that I'm proud of you
Even on the days you don't feel good
But I'm so happy that you chose to stay
I just wanna tell you that I'm proud of you
You've dealt with more than anyone should
And that's why I'm gonna praise you every day
'Cause I just wanna tell you that I'm proud of you
I just thought you should know
'Cause I just wanna tell you that I'm proud of you
I just thought you should know
'Cause I just wanna tell you that I'm proud of you
I just thought you should know
'Cause I just wanna tell you that I'm proud of you
I just thought you should know
I think that we should break the bread and rise above it all
Before it gets dark and then we've lost another day
Hoping that the bad dreams will go away
We went through shit that no kid should ever go through
And closed up on everyone that we were close too
'Cause we were terrified that everyone would leave
So we clinged onto love we knew we didn't need
Developing ways of dealing the pain
That made us go insane
I guess it's normal when you come from a broken home
You feel like you'd be better off going on your own
And there were days when it got too much
But we've all been there so who I am to judge?
But we preserved through all the tears
So I'm here to say from the bottom of my heart
I just wanna tell you that I'm proud of you
Even on the days you don't feel good
But I'm so happy that you chose to stay
I just wanna tell you that I'm proud of you
You've dealt with more than anyone should
And that's why I'm gonna praise you every day
'Cause I just wanna tell you that I'm proud of you
I just thought you should know
I just wanna tell you that I'm proud of you
