Make You Proud
A Heartfelt Tribute: Making Memories Last with 'Make You Proud'
Lyrics
Hey, I know it's been a while
Expressing acknowledgment of a long absence
Since you've seen my face
Highlighting the duration since the person was last seen
Ain't gonna lie, yeah, it's kinda hard
Admitting the difficulty in revisiting a certain place or memory
To stop by this place
Expressing difficulty in returning to a specific location
I know it's real but for some odd reason
Expressing disbelief or difficulty in accepting a reality despite its truth
To this day I just can't believe that you're really gone
Continuing to struggle with the absence of the person
I wish I could wrap my arms around you
Expressing a strong desire to be close again
Hear you sing that song we liked
Recalling a shared fond memory of a song
Wish I could tell you how much I love you
Expressing love and longing for the person
And how I pray to God every night
Sharing the act of praying for the person
That you can hear me
Expressing hope that the person can perceive their feelings
That you can see me
Expressing hope for the person's awareness of the speaker
I hope you're looking down
Expressing a wish for the person to be observing from above
I just want to make you proud
Desire to achieve something to honor the person's memory
When I see a truck that looks like yours
Seeing reminders of the person in everyday things
It makes me turn my head
Reacting to similarities with the person's belongings
I pray to God it ain't someone else
Expressing hope to encounter the person instead of a lookalike
And maybe I'd see you instead
Wishing for an encounter with the person
I know it's real but for some odd reason
Reiterating disbelief in the person's absence
To this day I just can't believe that you're really gone
Continued struggle with accepting the person's absence
I wish I could wrap my arms around you
Desiring physical closeness and the shared experience of a song
Hear you sing that song we liked
Recollection of shared memories through music
Wish I could tell you how much I love you
Expressing depth of love for the person
And how I pray to God every night
Continued prayers for the person
That you can hear me
Hoping for the person to hear their prayers
That you can see me
Desiring the person to witness the speaker's life
I hope you're looking down
Wishing for the person to observe from above
I just want to make you proud
Reiteration of the desire to achieve something significant for the person
I still dial those seven digits on my phone
Continued attempts to contact the person
Every time I got something going on
Associating certain actions with the person's memory
Every single time that I feel alone
Feeling the person's presence during times of solitude
I know you're here with me
Belief in the person's spiritual presence
I guess I'll never know, know, know
Expressing confusion or lack of understanding regarding the person's departure
Why you had to go, go, go
Questioning the reason behind the person's departure
I'll keep holding on, holding on to you
Commitment to holding onto memories of the person
I wish I could wrap my arms around you
Desire for physical closeness and shared memories
Hear you sing that song we liked
Recollection of shared moments through music
Wish I could tell you how much I love you
Expressing deep love and longing for the person
And how I pray to God every night
Continued prayers for the person's awareness
That you can hear me
Hoping for the person to hear their prayers
That you can see me
Desiring the person to see their life
I know you're looking down
Belief that the person is watching from above
I just want to make you proud
Desire to accomplish something meaningful in honor of the person
I just want to make you proud
Reiteration of the desire to bring pride to the person's memory
I just want to make you proud
Continued desire to honor the person's memory with achievements
