Pride

It’s not about you 
And it’s not about me 
Or who let who down 
It wants to be free

In a place of regret we 
Live with our sins
And where one trauma ends
Another begins

So I’m losing my way 
Again and again
As if there’s a path 
That’s not a dead end …

So I’m falling away
From my pride 
Every day that I wake 
I’m alive 

I’m trying to learn 
Why I can’t use my words
While my heart starts to burn
While I feel so disturbed

I’m afraid if I open
I might have to say
That it’s time to move on
And alone I will stay

Because age is so cruel
It breaks down your view
And you feel like a fool
Trying to start anew

So I’m falling away 
from my pride
My ego parade
It must die

There’s nothing that’s left
In this space of my heart
For an us as a thing
That’s not falling apart

I’m losing to win
Or winning at loss
It’s time to begin
Come down from the cross

So I’m falling away 
from my pride
Every day I’m awake 
I’m alive.
