Lyrics

Verse One
Your pretentious sway, your pompous grin
You have this way of getting under my skin
You?re never wrong; you?re always sure
Oh, god forbid you?d ever feel insecure

Chorus
I see you frowning, towering over me
I?ve let you down cuz I?m doing what?s right for me
Your pride has faded
You?re pushing me aside

Verse Two
Inside my heart I feel safe and proud
But your mirrored eyes reflect an obvious frown
What?s gonna happen if I succeed
Will you still allow my simple heart to bleed?
Do you feel regret?
Are you sorry yet?
I am waiting for your arms to welcome me back

Chorus
I see you frowning, towering over me
I?ve let you down cuz I?m doing what?s right for me
Your pride has faded
You?re pushing me aside

Verse Three
You tend to listen through your lips
You think you always know what?s best
But the one thing you don?t realize
Is the pain you?ve placed inside my chest

Chorus
I see you frowning, towering over me
I?ve let you down cuz I?m doing what?s right for me
Your pride has faded
You?re pushing me aside
