Pride And Progress

Between me and you
They don’t like what I do
I shouldn’t take it to heart
Cause that’s all I’m used to
I’ve spent hundreds of hours
On coffee and chords
Inside of my dorm room
Recording my words
So I could be told
This whining is getting old

This is a battle of pride and progress
Cause I love what I do regardless
They might be right
But don’t let their words change your life

Sure it’s the truth,
But it hurts all the same.
I have grown out of t-shirts
I thought fit you too
Now my pictures have put me to shame
Cause now I see
Someone that I don’t recognize,
From poses he
Made to the lust in his eyes
I couldn’t take his advice if I tried
(Cause he’s dead inside)

This is a battle of pride and progress
Cause I love what I do regardless
They might be right
But don’t let their words change your life

Don’t go living for someone else
Cause you’ll never be happy with yourself
Unless you feel the best when you feel empty

[Chorus]
