When you know you're good
When you know your love is pure
When you're doing everything you should
But you just can't open the door
I've been searching for a while now
Thinking that it's time now
I'ma throw away this pain
But ever since I was a child
I've had it on my mind
I'm dealing with my shame
I've been thinking about the ways I blunder
And I can't stop wondering if I'm discovering why
All I wanna do is scream like thunder
Let it out from under
But instead I swallow my pride
Yeah, instead I swallow my pride
No, I know my value is high
Instead I swallow my pride
See, I've been holding on
To the things they said about me
But I gotta move on
'cause this time I'll let myself be free
I know that I'm worthy
I know I'm deserving
I feel it coming in the air
I've got to try it
No more hiding
How you gonna find me if I'm not there?
I've been thinking about the ways I blunder
And I can't stop wondering if I'm discovering why
All I wanna do is scream like thunder
Let it out from under
But instead I swallow my pride
Yeah, instead I swallow my pride
No, I know my value is high
Instead I swallow my pride
I got so much to give
Got so much to live
I got the time
And I go the mind
And I got a big heart to win
I gotta let myself give in
Gain some self-respect within
I got to turn around
Put my hatred down
Toss my fears into the wind
I've been thinking about the ways I blunder
And I can't stop wondering if I'm discovering why
All I wanna do is scream like thunder
Let it out from under
But instead I swallow my pride
Yeah, instead I swallow my pride (I don't wanna swallow my pride)
No, I know my value is high ('cause I know I'm worthy of love)
Instead I swallow my pride
(that's right)
(yeah, that's right)
