Making mistakes
Everyday of my life
I asked you to stay
Now I'm pretty tired
To hold your hand
Through the dark
If I ever see someone else
Who wanna save me
Could I betray you
Like you did?
Maybe someone else
Is my second chance
Wanna forget
But never everything
cnd then he took me to the moon
But in the start I still see your eyes
Blue eyes, like sky
The eyes I loved to see
Everyday, every night
The light that took me off the ground
Every time I felt so down
The particular that made you proud
You pulled me in
When I was fragile
I understand just now
That it wasn't alright
There could be someone
That really cares about me
Just can't help thinking
cbout your eyes
cll the emotions
You made me feel at the time
I still miss them
In my fuckin' life
Maybe someone else
Is my second chance
Wanna forget
But never everything
cnd then he took me to the moon
But in the start I still see your eyes
Blue eyes, like sky
The eyes I loved to see
Everyday, every night
The light that took me off the ground
Every time I felt so down
The particular that made you proud
But now what are we gonna do?
Pieces and pieces, we broke the rules
Who said love doesn't hurt?
I just wanna you don't break my heart?
If that's alright
I'll always remember you in the sky
So I can look at your eyes once you're gone
The particular that makes you proud
cnd then he took me to the moon
But in the start I still see your eyes
Blue eyes, like sky
The eyes I loved to see
Everyday, every night
The light that took me off the ground
Every time I felt so down
The particular that made you proud
Sergio's song "Proud" captures a deeply emotional and tumultuous journey within a past relationship, laying bare the feelings of heartache, longing, and the complexity of love. The lyrics start with a sense of mutuality in mistakes, indicating that both partners have contributed to the relationship's deterioration. The line "Everyday of my life, I asked you to stay" reflects a desperate desire to maintain connection despite the struggles faced. The singer's exhaustion is palpable as they express fatigue from supporting a partner emotionally, suggesting that the burden of care became too heavy, leading to abandonment. This creates a tone of vulnerability, marking a clear transition from dependence to the recognition that the relationship was imbalanced.
The reflection on love and pain continues as the singer contemplates the idea of finding someone new who could potentially save them. The question posed, "Could I betray you like you did?" introduces a sense of betrayal and mistrust, underscoring the deep emotional scars left by the partner’s actions. This ambivalence hints at the struggle of moving on; while the prospect of a "second chance" is tempting, it comes with the baggage of past pain. The desire to forget is juxtaposed with the realization that some memories will linger, revealing that the impact of the relationship is indelible. The duality of wanting to forget yet holding onto specific moments reflects a common human experience in dealing with heartbreak, where certain memories simultaneously evoke warmth and sorrow.
The chorus reinforces a blend of nostalgia and admiration, referencing the partner’s blue eyes. These eyes, described as "like the sky," symbolize both beauty and depth, reinforcing an emotional connection that remains vivid in the singer's mind, even after separation. The phrase "he took me to the moon" could imply that despite the pain, there were moments of pure elation and escape which the relationship provided. This imagery evokes the highs of love, contrasting sharply with the subsequent feelings of being grounded during times of despair. The singer emphasizes the “light” their partner provided during dark times, hinting at a complex interplay of emotions where love simultaneously uplifts and weighs down.
As the lyrics progress, the question of “But now what are we gonna do?” speaks to the aftermath of the breakdown, suggesting a feeling of helplessness amidst the shattered remnants of their relationship. There's an acknowledgment that love can hurt, challenging the idealized perceptions of romance. The willingness to remember the partner positively, even after they are gone, showcases a healthy acceptance of grief and loss, illustrating that some bonds withstand the test of pain. Ultimately, despite the difficulties faced and the forward motion toward healing and potential new love, the lasting impact of the past relationship remains woven into the fabric of the singer’s identity—showing that love, in all its forms, can be both a source of joy and a cause for sorrow.
