Too Proud
Pride's Cost in Love's Departure
Lyrics
Too proud to say we were wrong
Unwilling to admit mistakes or faults
You let me leave you
You allowed me to depart from you
And you knew that I was gone
You were aware that I had left
Long before I stopped pretending
I had stopped pretending before the obvious end
The one who chose my love so carefully
The person who selected my love cautiously
You should have loved me better
You should have shown me better love
I'm not one to call to blame
I'm not inclined to assign blame
Fools at love - they're all the same
People who make mistakes in love are similar
Too proud to say they're wrong
Unwilling to acknowledge their mistakes
Too proud and then they're gone
Being too proud leads to departure
And who was I to think I'd change at all
Why did I believe I could change?
I've always been alone
I've always been solitary
And bet I often freedom and not a prisoner to the cause
I often chose freedom over commitment
And all my pain was by my own hands
All my suffering was self-inflicted
The one who thought that love could last forever
The person who believed in eternal love
Guess I should have checked my record
I should have reviewed my history
'Cause now I see that love is not blind
Love isn't blind; it observes silently
It just stands frozen watching from behind
Love remains static, watching from afar
Too proud to say I'm wrong
Unwillingness to admit personal faults
Too proud and then I'm gone
Being too proud leads to departure
Too proud to say we're wrong
Unwilling to admit joint faults
Too proud it's all gone
Being too proud has resulted in everything being lost
