Make You Proud

Verse 1

Staring at the wall

You say I never listen

Right

Cold breakfast on the table

Left the engine running in the drive

I am sorry

I am sorry

I am sorry

Maybe I missed the mark

Maybe I fell behind

Chorus

I just want to make you proud

I just want to make you proud

Everything I do is never quite enough for you

I am trying

I am trying

Can you hear me screaming now

I just want to make you proud

Post-Chorus

Oh oh

I am sorry

Oh oh

Verse 2

Mistakes

Heavy like a stone

Tied around my tired neck

You want a version of me that does not exist

Shattered glass

Scattered on the floor

Paper thin

I am paper thin

Walking on these eggshells until they cut my feet

Chorus

I just want to make you proud

I just want to make you proud

Everything I do is never quite enough for you

I am trying

I am trying

Can you hear me screaming now

I just want to make you proud

Bridge

Look at me

Do you even see me

Just a shadow in the hallway

Trying to find a way back home

I failed you

I know I failed you

But I am still your blood

I am still your bone

Chorus

I just want to make you proud

I just want to make you proud

Everything I do is never quite enough for you

I am trying

I am trying

Can you hear me screaming now

I just want to make you proud

Post-Chorus

Oh oh

I am sorry

Oh oh

I am sorry

Oh oh

Outro

I am sorry

I am sorry

Not perfect

Never was

Never will be
