Proud

You don't know how long it took
Chasing out my demons
You don't know how long it took
To know I wasn't cheated

You were the one that I looked to
Your words were meant to hold me
But you turned me away
It was hate that you showed me

So you can shut me out
But I will stand tall
And you can let me down
But I will be strong
Because he is the light that I turn to
And she is the love I'll never lose
So you can shut me out
But I will stand tall
And Proud

You don't know how much I cried
Before I could utter the words
Your face is seared in my memory
A face that I didn't deserve
'Cause you were the one that I looked to
Your words were meant to hold me
But you turned me away
It was hate that you showed me

So you can shut me out
But I will stand tall
And you can let me down
But I will be strong
'Cause he is the light that I turn to
And she is the love I'll never lose
So you can shut me out
But I will stand tall
And Proud

Well maybe it's too late too late
To say what you didn't say
But I'll be ok...
So you can shut me out
But I will stand tall
And you can let me down
But I will fly and soar
Because he is the light that I turn to
And she is the love I'll never lose
So you can shut me out
But I will stand tall
And proud
And proud
