Elliot Chapman - Proud Lyrics

When the nights were getting longer
When the silence was so deafening
And my chest was getting tighter
Felt like my throat was just closing in
And I was looking for the fog to pass
My mind was always so cloudy
Felt like nothing good would ever last
Nothing that's connected to me
I used to say to myself aloud, when are things getting better
And then I said this in the mirror

I wont let you stop my climb
I wont let you block my shine
Nothings stopping me from doing what I got to do
Not holding back, not this time
Looking back, don't need rewind
Just wanna say to myself I'm proud of you

I'm caring do you like me
Will I ever be one of them
Or will they accept me
What can I say just to fit in
When you neglect your own true self
You just supress your souls expression
When you don't show the truth to yourself
You place it on another through attachment

I wont let you stop my climb
I wont let you block my shine
Nothings stopping me from doing what I got to do
Not holding back, not this time
Looking back, don't need rewind
Just wanna say to myself I'm proud of you

Proud of you
Proud of you
Proud of you
Proud of you
Proud of you
Proud of you
Proud of you
Proud of you

I wont let you stop my climb
I wont let you block my shine
Nothings stopping me from doing what I got to do
Not holding back, not this time
Looking back, don't need rewind
Just wanna say to myself I'm proud of you
