Make You Proud

[Verse 1]
Go on and ask me how I'm doing, how I feel inside
Sometimes I sit and cry, most nights I wonder why
Don't understand it, but they tell me that it heals with time
I'm still waiting, I'm impatient, will the pain subside?
I take the long way home down a county road
To try and fill that hole that's inside my soul
I'm getting used to being here, just me alone
'Cause you know I've never been good at letting go

[Chorus]
I can't believe that you're gone
But the good Lord called you home
And I'm trying to carry on
'Cause I know you'd want me to be strong
Everything you taught me, every last memory
Is a treasure I'll keep, you're a part of me now
I know you found peace, I'll see you in my dreams
I just hope I make you proud

[Verse 2]
I have faith things happen for a reason
But sometimes it's so hard to believe it
Yeah, I smile, but inside I'm still grieving
So I take a deep breath and thank God that I'm breathing
I know life is precious, it's a blessing, you're in Heaven
But I wish you'd send a message 'cause I'm really, really stressing out
Yeah, I swear I could lose it any second now
But you're up there and I don't wanna let you down

[Chorus]
I can't believe that you're gone
But the good Lord called you home
And I'm trying to carry on
'Cause I know you'd want me to be strong
Everything you taught me, every last memory
Is a treasure I'll keep, you're a part of me now
I know you found peace, I'll see you in my dreams
I just hope I make you proud

[Bridge]
I'll be praying for you
I'll be waiting for you
I'll be praying for you
I'll be waiting

[Chorus]
I can't believe that you're gone
But the good Lord called you home
And I'm trying to carry on
'Cause I know you'd want me to be strong
Everything you taught me, every last memory
Is a treasure I'll keep, you're a part of me now
I know you found peace, I'll see you in my dreams
I just hope I make you proud
