Too Proud to Let Love In Verse 1 She got beauty in her smile, fire in her eyes Built her whole world up, brick by brick, no lies Independent queen, she don't need no man That's the story she tells every chance she can Had a good one standing right beside her door But she kept on finding reasons to want more Every compromise felt like she'd lose a fight So she let her ego lead her through the night Pre-Chorus He wasn't asking her to give herself away Just meet him halfway, baby, that's all he'd say But her heart wore armor she could never remove And love got tired of trying to prove Chorus Her pride was too high, her walls were too strong She spent so much time proving she was right all along Now she's staring at the silence where his love used to be Learning too late what love could've been to see Too proud to say "I need you" Too proud to say "I was wrong" Now the nights feel a little colder And the memories linger on Verse 2 She watches from afar as he's moving on Holding someone else's hand, singing a different song The things she thought were weakness were strength all along Now she's replaying every moment, every word, every wrong She remembers how he'd call just to hear her voice How he made her feel like she was his only choice But she treated every blessing like it would never leave Now she's learning what it means to grieve Pre-Chorus A heart can only wait for so long in the rain Before it finds sunshine somewhere else again And all the "I told you so's" don't mean a thing When you're crying over what pride didn't bring Chorus Her pride was too high, her walls were too strong She spent so much time proving she was right all along Now she's staring at the silence where his love used to be Learning too late what love could've been to see Too proud to say "I need you" Too proud to say "I was wrong" Now the nights feel a little colder And the memories linger on Bridge Sometimes winning every argument means losing the war Sometimes love walks away when it can't knock anymore And the hardest lesson life can ever teach Is watching happiness stay just out of reach Final Chorus Her pride was too high, her walls were too strong Now she's singing to herself that lonely song If she could turn back time she'd let her guard come down Trade a thousand victories for one love she'd found Too proud to say "I love you" Too proud to let it show And now she's left with what-ifs And a heart that finally knows Outro Yeah, pride can protect you from a little pain... But sometimes it protects you from love the same. And that's a price nobody wants to pay. 🎶
