"Pride" lyrics

"Pride"

You left a mark
On my face
And brought a dozen red flags
In a vase
You thought everything would be okay
But it's not okay

Nobody saw
The other side
You turn into Jekyll
And I'd run and Hyde
And I'd come back
I don't know why
I don't know why

You'll take whiskey
You'll take wine
You'll take anything as long as it was mine
And you choke it down
And chase it with a lie
The only thing that you can't swallow is your pride

Are you insane?
Or are you brilliant?
Am I crazy?
Or just resilient?
I'll never know
And you'll never tell
The kids don't know that truth and, maybe that's just as well

You'll take whiskey
You'll take wine
You'll take anything as long as it was mine
And you choke it down
And chase it with a lie
The only thing that you can't swallow is your pride

Even now that I'm leaving
You won't say you're wrong
And you'll never believe it
That I'm moving on without you
Yeah, I wrote this song about you
Yeah, I wrote this song about you

You'll take whiskey
You'll take wine
You'll take anything as long as it was mine
And you choke it down
And chase it with a lie
The only thing you can't swallow is your pride
