“Proud” Lyrics

Where did all the good days go?

They used to float in like cumulonimbus

When I was dancing to the thunder

The people who love me know

I haven’t been the same since college

I fell below and stayed under

I gotta pick myself up sometime

The lies, I believed I was happy

I could be happy

If I just stuck it out

Well, we’re well past that now

Turns out every shadow of a doubt

just wrapped itself around my brain

I had to shake off the rain

But I got out and I might just be proud

I wouldn’t say I’m out of hope

I’m just feeling more realistic

I found the drive, I found my hunger

I reclaimed my pen and wrote

As for pot, I got a little addicted

but I was looking for the slumber

Nights went on without a change by me

‘Cause I was the girl who believed

I could be happy

If I just stuck it out

Well, we’re well past that now

Turns out every shadow of a doubt

just wrapped itself around my brain

I had to shake off the rain

But I got out and I might just be proud

Choking up in my head just yelling,

“I don’t wanna be here, I just wanna go home”

Backing up, in my head, remembering

The closest thing to that I know was you

Oh it’s you

Where did all the good days go?

And how did it all get so monotonous?

Hey, I’m not getting any younger

To the people who love me most

Thanks for never finding it redundant

when I crashed before the thunder

‘Cause I like dancing in the rain

And tried to make him feel the same

Turns out that shit is draining

So yeah, I’m proud

‘Cause we’re well past that now

Turns out every shadow of a doubt

just wrapped itself around my brain

I thought that I went insane

But I got out and I might just be proud

I might just be proud

I might just be proud
