You're proud, too proud for me
To tell me how you really feel
You let it get in the way with the things between us
And with the girl you first loved
With the girl you shared your first kiss with
Are you happy,
Now that she's gone,
And left you for someone else?

When you came back for me
You've welcomed bitterness into your heart
and let it consume you

You let your ego get in the way
You couldn't look past your own flaws
Because you were too proud to admit
That you were wrong
Too proud to feel shame

Do you know how it made me feel,
When I couldn't love you anymore,
When you told me you wanted me again,
So that I could be used for your own selfish gain?

You bragged about your successes
You enjoyed telling me how much you liked the next girl
But did you know that
You were lengthening the gap between us?
