I need a hand but I won't reach out
Standing here drowning in my pain
Could ask for help but I bite my tongue
Too proud to beg, too full of shame

Want forgiveness from the ones I've wronged
Could make it right with a simple plea
But apologies stick in my throat
Too proud to beg on bended knee

Pride's a prison that I built myself
Locked the door, threw away the key
Now I'm serving time in solitary
While the world moves on without me

Too proud to beg
Too scared to fall
Built these walls so high
Can't climb them at all
I know what I need
But I can't make the call
Too proud to beg
Too proud to crawl

I want your attention but I play it cool
Could tell the truth about what I feel
Acting like loneliness can be shrugged off
Too proud to beg for something real

I need direction, I've lost my way
Could ask for guidance from those who know
But I won't admit I've gone astray
Too proud to beg, can't let it show

Pride's a prison that I built myself
Locked the door, threw away the key
Now I'm serving time in solitary
While the world moves on without me

Too proud to beg
Too scared to fall
Built these walls so high
Can't climb them at all
I know what I need
But I can't make the call
Too proud to beg
Too proud to crawl

Too proud... too proud...
Won't bend... won't break...
Too proud... too proud...
My fatal mistake...
