Proud
[Verse 1]
I think there's pieces of heaven in blue eyes
I'm scared I’m not far enough at 25
I don't believe in a lot, but I feel like I
Believe in enough
I think that sad songs are better in the car
And that it's more fun to kiss in shitty bars
I don’t cross streets for the love that fell apart
'Cause it was good once
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm into over-analyzing things and I romanticize the way that
My apartment looks when it's messy
I got a habit of taping daisies over baggage
Hoping that maybe it might make it look a little less heavy
[Chorus 1]
I've been a kid who couldn't wait to get older
I've been somebody that somebody got over
I've been a handful for my mother
And I idolize my brother
I’m still tryin' to figure it out
[Verse 2]
I think not dancing at parties is a sin
And I’ve made a lot of good family out of friends
I’m confident but I care what other people think
More than I’d admit, wish I did less
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm into over analyzing things
And I romanticize the way that windows look lit up in the city
I've got a habit of taping daisies over baggage
Hoping that maybe one day someone might wanna carry it with me
[Extended Chorus]
I've been a kid who couldn't wait to get older
I've been somebody that somebody got over
I've been a handful for my mother
And I idolize my brother
I’m still tryin' to figure it out
I've been a stranger on a train in October
I've been the heart sewn onto somebody's shoulder
I've been in love and then I lost it
Had the ball and then I dropped it
Yeah, my faults and my fears can get loud
But when I look in the mirror, I'm proud
[Bridge]
Of the pieces of myself that I get from my dad
Of the lessons that I’ve learned, even if they had to hurt
Of the people who I have to hold me up when life gets hard to live
And all the one’s I miss
[Chorus 2]
I've been a stranger on a train in October
I've been the heart sewn onto somebody's shoulder
I've been in love and then I lost it
Had the ball and then I dropped it
Yeah, my faults and my fears can get loud
But when I look in the mirror, I'm proud
Don’t always know who I am right now
But I know that she makes me proud
