Love Is Stronger Than Pride
Amber Mark Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I didn't stop living
I walked in
I'm good at forgiving
I can't hate you though I have tried
I still really really love you
Love is stronger than pride
I walked in
And I didn't stop living
I walked in
I'm good at forgiving
I can't hate you though I have tried
I still really really love you
Love is stronger than pride
Sitting here wasting my time
Feel like waiting for the sun to rise
It's all too clear
Things come and go
Sitting here waiting for you would be like
Waiting for winter
It's gonna be cold
There might even be snow
I can't hate you though I have tried, I
I still really really love you
Love is stronger than pride
I still really really love you
Love is stronger than pride
The first verse of Amber Mark's song "Love Is Stronger Than Pride" sets the scene for the story of a relationship that has ended but where the singer has refused to give up on it. The singer has walked in, which implies they are in a physical space, but it can also be interpreted as them entering a mental space where they can reflect on their emotions. They also state that they didn't stop living, which could mean they are moving forward with their life. The singer then asserts that they're good at forgiving, suggesting they have already made peace with the fact that the relationship ended. However, the singer then admits that they've tried to hate their former partner but can't because their love for them is too strong. This sentiment is summed up by the chorus, where the singer states that love is stronger than pride.
In the second verse, the singer is sitting alone and waiting for something that they know will never come. The reference to winter and the cold suggests a lack of warmth and comfort in their life since the relationship ended. Even though they are aware of this, the singer admits that they can't hate their former partner, and their love is stronger than their pride.
The song's message is about the power of love, the idea that love can supersede pride and pain, and that it's possible to forgive and move on. The lyrics suggest that even though the relationship has ended, the love between them is still strong, and the singer can't help but still love their former partner.

This is so damn beautiful! Thank you, "Insecure", for bringing all of this gorgeous music to light for someone like me, who hadn't heard it before <3

She's such a natural. Performing and singing chops way beyond her years. She sings like someone who has been singing for 30 years, which means she must have been singing w/ the angels before she came to earth.
