Proud
Babylon Bombs Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Here I am in a city of strangers
I see lost my souls and broken
Hearts on the boulevard
I left it all to fulfill my dreams
It's been heartache and pain all along the road

I hope you understand me
And all the choices that I've made
I just can't make it up to you
'Cause I can't bring back the world

All in all I hope that I've made you proud
All in all I hope when you look me
In the eyes you'll say it's ok
All in all I hope that I've made you proud
'Cause I owe it all to you

Time just seems to slip away
You know I have no patience
But you're always there for me
When I fall down you pull me back up
You know I appreciate it all, I just can't tell you
Enough

I hope you understand me
And all the choices that I've made
I just can't make it up to you
'Cause I can't bring back the world

All in all I hope that I've made you proud
All in all I hope when you look me
In the eyes you'll say it's ok




All in all I hope that I've made you proud
'Cause I owe it all to you
