Proud Songtext
von NoRose

Light me on fire and strike me down
I′ll let your words define me
Poison the air with doubt
I'll let your walls confine me
Let my lungs fill with smoke
Burn the meat off my bones
′Cause I don't wanna disappoint you
But I will

I wasn't born to make you proud
Nah, that ain′t my responsibility
So forgive me if I do something you don′t like, mama
Don't look, mama
I won′t make you proud


Oh I'll break through your walls brick by brick (by brick, by brick, by brick, by brick)
Maybe then you′ll realize
I'm fed up with your shit
I′ve had enough of your casual suggestions
And manipulation
I'm living my own life now
I'm in control

I wasn′t born to make you proud
Nah, that ain′t my responsibility
So forgive me if I do something you don't like, mama
Don′t look, mama
You won't like what you′ll see
Don't give a damn if you don′t support me
It used to be all I cared about
Now I know I wasn't born to make you proud
Are you proud?

Funny how you used to sing me lullabies
And now you try to kill my dreams


I wasn't born to make you proud
Nah, that ain′t my responsibility, no
So forgive me if I do something you don′t like, mama
Don't look
You won′t like what you'll see
Don′t give a damn if you don't support me
It used to be all I cared about
Now I know I wasn′t born to make you proud
Oh yeah
Know I wasn't born to make you proud
