Pride Lyrics

So you never knew love until you crossed the line of grace

And you never felt wanted 'Til you had someone slap your face

So you never felt alive until you'd almost wasted away

You had to win

You couldn't just pass

The smartest ass

At the top of the class

Your flying colors

Your family tree

And all your lessons in history

Please...please...please...Get up off your knees...Please...please...leave me out of this

Please

And you never knew how low you'd stoop to make that call

And you never knew what was on the ground 'til they made you crawl

And you never knew that the heaven you keep you stole

Your catholic blues

Your convent shoes

Your stick on tattoos

Now they're making the news

Your holy war

Your northern star

Your sermon on the mount

From the boot of your car

Please...please...please...Get up off your knees...Please...please...Leave me out of this 

please

So love is hard and love is tough

But love is not what you're thinking of

September...Streets capsizing...Spilling over, Down the drain

Shards of glass splinters like rain but you could only feel your own pain...

October...Talk getting nowhere...November...December...Remember...

Are we just starting again...?

So love is big is bigger than us

But love is not what you're thinking of

It's what lovers deal it's what lovers steal

You know I've found it hard to receive

'Cause you my love I could never believe
