Reason To Prove Me Wrong

[Verse 1]
Talked to my father
He said, "Son, stand tall"
But I grew into armor
Built a brick wall
I don’t make friends
They carve me out, piece by piece
I just pick and choose the damage
And call it peace
Everyone laughing in circles
I’m in the corner, wired wrong
Tongue full of static excuses
Heart where the knives belong
[Pre-Chorus]
Stop being scared, dude
That’s what they say
Like fear’s a switch
I can flip in a day
[Chorus]
Give me a reason to
Give me a reason to
Prove me wrong, prove me wrong (yeah)
I’m rock hard, cracked inside
Daring the world to collide
Prove me wrong
Prove me wrong
[Verse 2]
I’ve seen fake smiles
Turn teeth into chains
Let a handshake happen once
It bled my name
So I keep it quiet, keep it cold
Count every step, every look
If trust is a loaded weapon
I’m safety on, finger hooked
You say "open up"
Like it’s one more door
I’m a whole damn hallway
With locks on the floor
[Pre-Chorus]
Stop being scared, dude
You don’t understand
My shadow’s been screaming
Louder than the band
[Chorus]
Give me a reason to
Give me a reason to
Prove me wrong, prove me wrong (hey!)
I’m rock hard, cracked inside
Daring the world to collide
Prove me wrong
Prove me wrong
[Bridge]
Tell me, father, would you still be proud
If I break this shell, if I shout too loud? (too loud)
If I trust and they twist
Would you carry the risk
Or just say, "Figure it out"?
I’m tired of testing every soul
Like a trap that might go off
If someone stands their ground with me
I swear I’ll take this armor off
[Chorus]
Give me a reason to
Give me a reason to
Prove me wrong, prove me wrong (oh)
I’m rock hard, cracked inside
Daring the world to collide
Prove me wrong
Prove me wrong
[Outro]
Talked to my father
Ask him in my head
If I let one person in
Will it fix me
Or finish me instead
