SWALLOW MY PRIDE

Sitting all alone
Just these bitter thoughts of you to keep me company
Staring at my phone
Even though I know you won't be calling me
I guess it's up to me
To try and make you see
And put it all behind
I gotta make the first move
Why do I have to prove
That it's all in your mind

Should I swallow my pride
Should I hide all the anger that I'm feeling inside
Would you think that I'm weak
If I let it all go, if I turn the other cheek
You've got a heart made of stone
But I can't make it alone
So I swallow my pride

So now you're back again
You wear that victim's mask like it was made for you
You used to be my friend
But now that we've got closer I'm afraid for you
I don't know what to do
If I try and talk to you
I might just speak my mind
If I let it all come out
If I leave you in no doubt
Can’t promise I’ll be kind

Should I swallow my pride
Should I hide all the anger that I'm feeling inside
Would you think that I'm weak
If I let it all go, if I turn the other cheek
You've got a heart made of stone
But I can't make it alone
So I swallow my pride

Holding on so tightly to us
Like a stranglehold
Now any love that was between uIs clearly getting cold

Should I swallow my pride
Should I hide all the anger that I'm feeling inside
Would you think that I'm weak
If I let it all go, if I turn the other cheek
You've got a heart made of stone
But I can't make it alone
So I swallow my pride
