Proud lyrics

[Intro]
Hmm-mm-mm, hmm-mm-mm

[Verse 1]
Tired of hurt, only ten
All she wants is to fit in
Only worse, older she gets
Just fourteen, and

[Pre-Chorus]
Every time she tried to open up, they tore it down
Didn't think she'd ever be enough someday

[Chorus]
I hope when she gets older
She holds onto her dreams
'Cause the pain don't last forever, oh, I know
If she could only see what I can see right now
She would be so proud

[Post-Chorus]
(Hmm-mm-mm, hmm-mm-mm)
She would be so proud
(Hmm-mm-mm, hmm-mm-mm)

[Verse 2]
Heavy heart, tear-stained sheets
Chased a dream, only sixteen
Left her out, called her names
Never changed, but
[Pre-Chorus]
Every time she reached up for the stars, they pulled her down
Made her doubt she'd ever get so far, just wait

[Chorus]
I hope when she gets older
She holds onto her dreams
'Cause the pain don't last forever, oh, I know
If she could only see what I can see right now
She would be so proud

[Post-Chorus]
(Hmm-mm-mm, hmm-mm-mm)
She would be so proud
(Hmm-mm-mm, hmm-mm-mm)
She would be so proud

[Bridge]
La-la-la, la-la-la
La-la-la, la-la-la
La-la-la, la-la-la
La-la-la, la-la

[Chorus]
Oh, now that I am older
And living out my dreams
All the pain was worth it in the end somehow
If she could only see what I can see right now
She would be so proud
[Outro]
(Hmm-mm-mm, hmm-mm-mm)
She would be so proud
(Hmm-mm-mm, hmm-mm-mm)
She would be so proud
