I missed my mark by a thousand miles
Oh, pride
Oh, pride
Because I never aimed to take both our lives
Oh, pride
Oh, pride
Oh, pride
I know I said I love you over a thousand times
Oh, pride
But if we loved it all, it was dead before it was even time
I don't know that I tried
I don't know that I mind
Oh, pride
She walked the hall until the sun starts to rise
Collaps by my side
She'll stir with the light
Before I go I check to see if she's alive
I'll kiss both her eyes
And hope that she smiles
And hope that she smiles
If I can't say that I'm smiling myself, then I'm asking too much off somebody else
Oh, oh
It's easier keeping them shot then keeping them dry
I give my love a thousand reasons to cry
Oh, pride
Oh, pride
She tells me (?) rather than grow that we decline
You know that I'm right
Now tell me I'm right
I break up (?), she's trembling on the floor with fright
I'll stick till I'm dry
I shove back her thighs
She scratched my face and tells me I'm a goddamn sorry sight
That I'm drunk and I'm wild
That I fuck like a child
That's all I need to hear to know this bitch is mine
She won't put up no fight
She's my angel, my pride...
Oh, pride
Oh, I know I know, we were not so we'd be fine
But I weaken my mind
And I'm too strong in my pride
And if your heart ain't closed, you know my arms are open wide
And it's warmer inside
You've been stripped of your pride
Oh, pride
