Pride's Not Hard to Swallow
A Journey of Redemption: Pride's Transformative Swallow
Lyrics
I wish you'd look who's crawlin' back to you
I regret returning to you; I want you to notice.
I never thought I'd live to see today
I never expected to live through this particular day.
I swore to you the day
I promised on the day I left that it would be a permanent departure.
I left, this time I'd go for good
Despite my earlier commitment, I find myself coming back again.
And I was even proud enough to tell myself I could
I was proud enough to convince myself that I could leave and not return.
And it took a lot of lonely nights to ever change my mind
It took many nights of solitude to change my perspective.
It took a lot of missin' you, and things I left behind
Missing you and reflecting on what I left behind played a crucial role.
Intending to keep goin', but the goin' got too rough
My initial plan was to keep moving forward, but the challenges became overwhelming.
And pride's not hard to swallow
Pride is not difficult to accept or admit to, especially after contemplating it for a while.
Once you chew it long enough
Once you reflect on your pride for an extended period, acknowledging it becomes easier.
I know we won't always see eye to eye
We may not always agree, but I am willing to make an effort.
But if you'll take me back this time I'll really try
If you give me another chance, I genuinely intend to change my ways.
So many things I should have done, so much I failed to do
I have regrets about things I should have done and opportunities I missed.
I've never needed any one as much as I need you
I've never needed anyone as much as I need you now.
And it took a lot of lonely nights to ever change my mind
Similar to the earlier sentiment, it required a considerable amount of time alone to shift my mindset.
It took a lot of missin' you, and things I left behind
Missing you and reflecting on my past played a significant role in changing my perspective.
Intending to keep goin', but the goin' got too rough
Originally planning to continue, external challenges made it too difficult.
And pride's not hard to swallow
Reiterating that accepting pride becomes easier with time and reflection.
Once you chew it long enough
Emphasizing that acknowledging pride becomes easier with prolonged contemplation.
No pride's not hard to swallow
Repeating the idea that pride becomes more acceptable with time and reflection.
Once you chew it long enough
Reiterating that acknowledging pride becomes more manageable with extended contemplation.
