Proud of Me

[Verse 1:]

Driving past my life it seems

Stoplight at reality

I just want someone to be proud of me

They all say it’s not a race

But it blows up in my face

Everyone my age is way ahead of me

And when I try to slow it down

Take a deep breathe and let it out

Gaze in the rear view at myself

The lights behind are blinding me

[Pre hook:]

Maybe if I devise a plan

To make everyone understand

I’m tired of changing who I am

But what if they leave

[Chorus:]

I want

I just want someone to be

I need

I just need someone to be proud of me

[Verse 2: ]

Life disguised when I’m online

Wish I didn’t have to lie

I just want someone to be jealous of me

The only numbers that I see

Are days wasted behind a screen

I believe there has to be more for me

And when my best seems not enough

I am reminded how far I have come

I really wish I knew who that was

In the mirror staring back at me

[ Pre hook: ]

Maybe if I devise a plan

To make everyone understand

I’m done hiding who I am

So go on and leave

[ Chorus: ]

I want

I just want I wanna be

I need

I just need need to be proud of me
