Troubles of My Pride

[Intro, Ambient piano, Ethereal pads] [Verse 1, Reflective tone] I built my walls too high to climb Lost the truth somewhere in my pride Every word I threw like stones Now I’m standing here alone [Instrumental Break] [Verse 2, Subtle percussion build] You gave me love, I gave you storms I lost the heart that kept me warm Now I trace the paths we knew Hoping they might lead to you [Chorus, Expansive arrangement] For every tear that fell when I denied If I could take it back tonight I’d paint your name across the sky I’m sorry for the selfish of my pride [Break, Soft piano interlude] [Verse 3] I’m reaching out through every sound To pull your memory back around And I can’t hide, no I can’t disguise The cracks that show beneath these eyes [Final Chorus, Full band, soaring harmonies, [Harmonic surprise]] For every tear that fell when I denied If I could take it back tonight I’d paint your name across the sky I’m sorry for the selfish of my pride [Outro, Ambient fade, [Melancholy, Hopeful]] (Ohh ohh ohh) I’m coming home to you
