Proud

[Verse 1]
You don't know how long it took
Chasing out my demons
You don't know how long it took
To know I wasn't cheated

[Pre-Chorus]
You were the one that I looked to
Your words were meant to hold me
But you turned me away
It was hate that you showed me

[Chorus]
So you can shut me out
But I will stand tall
And you can let me down
But I will be strong
He's a light that I turn to
And she's a love I'll never lose
So you can shut me out
But I will stand tall and proud

[Verse 2]
You don't how much I cried
Before I could order the words
Your face is set in my memory
A face that I didn't deserve

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause you were the one that I looked to
Your words were meant to hold me
But you turned me away
It was hate that you showed me

[Chorus]
So you can shut me out
But I will stand tall
And you can let me down
But I will be strong
He's a light that I turn to
And she's a love I'll never lose
So you can shut me out
But I will stand tall and proud

[Bridge]
Well, maybe it's too late, too late
To save what you did and said
But I'll be okay

[Chorus]
So you can shut me out
But I will stand tall
And you can let me down
But I will fly and soar
(He's a light that I turn to)
She's a love I'll never lose
(So you can) Shut me out
But I will stand tall and proud
And proud
