[Intro]
Yo, it's a battle within, trying to break free,
Pride's got me locked, unable to see me,
Can I be loved, or am I just a shadow?
Talking to myself, searching for the me I used to know.
[Verse 1]
Walking through the storm, heavy chest, tight grip,
Pride piles up, got me slipping, losing my grip,
Mirror's reflection, questions who I am,
Is love a stranger, or just part of the grand plan?
[Pre-Chorus]
Heart's on the line, but I keep holding back,
Building walls so high, I forgot how to crack,
Love's a distant melody, I can't seem to find,
Caught up in my pride, leave my love behind.
[Chorus]
Can I love myself, when I don't feel enough?
Heavy pride, weighing down, making tough,
Trying to let go, trying to break free,
But pride keeps me from feeling worthy.
[Verse 2]
Battling my ego, shadows in my mind,
Frozen in the fear I can't leave behind,
Loving me feels like a crime,
Locked in my pride, running out of time.
[Pre-Chorus]
Heart's on the line, but I keep holding back,
Building walls so high, I forgot how to crack,
Love's a distant melody, I can't seem to find,
Caught up in my pride, leave my love behind.
[Chorus]
Can I love myself, when I don't feel enough?
Heavy pride, weighing down, making tough,
Trying to let go, trying to break free,
But pride keeps me from feeling worthy.
[Bridge]
Break the chains, tear down the walls,
Open up, answer love's call,
Worthy of the shine, deserving of the light,
Let the pride go, step into the night.
[Outro]
Maybe then I'll see, love's not a fight,
It's acceptance, it's believing, it's holding tight,
To who I am, to what I deserve,
Love’s waiting—it's my turn.
