Proud - The Paramedic

This will destroy me,

And they will never see,

Just how the words of one man,

Could, somehow, bring me to my knees

Your pride is worth nothing here,

Watch the words that you speak.

Lest they should all figure out,

How well you fit amongst the weak

Are we the ones that we want to become?

Or do we just mirror the ones that

We came from?

We seem so indifferent about what they say

But deep down, you can’t deny that,

It’s not that way

We strive to be perfect

And it will kill us all

(Kill us all)

I know that inside,

I have tried to resist.

There’s no more fighting it.

I will bleed for this.

I just want to hear you say it.

I need you to say it out loud.

Tell me I make you proud.

I just want to hear you say it.

Say it a little louder please,

Tell me you’re proud of me.

No

Have I just doomed myself to

Fight a losing war?

Because this will destroy me

And I can only hope to find

That maybe something in their words

Could, somehow, calm my raging mind

It’s fleeting to know

That there could be something more

And I’m just dying to know

What is it I’m really fighting for?

Please tell me!

I just want to hear you say it.

I need you to say it out loud.

Tell me I make you proud.

I just want to hear you say it.

Say it a little louder please,

Tell me you’re proud of me.

(Solo)

I just want to hear you say it.

I need you to say it out loud.

Tell me I make you proud

I just want to hear you say it.

Say it a little louder please,

Tell me you’re proud of me.

(Is this enough?

Am I enough?)
