Pride's Not Hard to Swallow

I wish you'd look

Who's crawling back to you

I never thought

I'd live to see today

I swore to you the day I left

This time I'd go for good

And I was even proud enough

To tell myself I could

But it took a lot of lonely nights

To ever change my mind

It took a lot of missing youth

And things that I'd left behind

Intending to keep going

But the going got too rough

And pride's not hard to swallow

Once you chew it long enough

I know we won't

Always see eye to eye

But if you'll take me back

This time I'll really try

So many things I could have done

So much I failed to do

I've never needed anyone

As much as I need you

And it took a lot of lonely nights

To ever change my mind

It took a lot of missing youth

And things that I'd left behind

Intending to keep going

But the going it got too rough

And my pride's not hard to swallow

Once I've chewed it long enough
