Sell My Pride

Verse 1

I woke up Monday with a note on the fridge

Says "make me dinner and don't act weird"

I spent my paycheck on some stupid candles

And I'll sing your name till my throat is cleared

Pre-Chorus

I'd rather be playing my guitar

But I'm here scrubbing every jar

Don't you love the way I try

Chorus

I'm doing this for you

Yeah I'm really doing this

Watch me change my whole damn life

Just to earn another kiss

I'm doing this for you

Don't you see how hard I try

If I swallow all my pride

Maybe you'll let me inside

Post-Chorus

Alright alright

Let me in tonight

Verse 2

I wore the nice shirt you bought last autumn

Composed the speech you always wanted heard

I'll fake enthusiasm till I'm blistered

Every single solitary word

Pre-Chorus

I'd rather be out with the boys

But you like the vulnerable voice

Watch me bleed for your applause

Chorus

I'm doing this for you

Yeah I'm really doing this

Watch me change my whole damn life

Just to earn another kiss

I'm doing this for you

Don't you see how hard I try

If I swallow all my pride

Maybe you'll let me inside

Bridge

Grow a garden

Build a fence

Write some poems

Learn to dance

Anything to get my chance

Chorus

I'm doing this for you

Yeah I'm really doing this

Watch me change my whole damn life

Just to earn another kiss

I'm doing this for you

Don't you see how hard I try

If I swallow all my pride

Maybe you'll let me inside

Post-Chorus

Alright alright

Let me in tonight
