Wall of Pride
Growing old
Old enough to see things a bit more plainly
Once was told
You'll die alone a king, living so vainly
Burned every bridge that I could find
Loosened every knot that tries
To bind us to the past
Alone, at last
How much more sorry could a guy get
How much more sorry could a person be
Yet, I'll take another drink
And hide behind my pride
Each and every time
She comes to mind
I'm was young,
Young enough to see things
For what they could be
Tensely strung
By the selfish sting of what she meant to me
And all that's left is, more or less, a stain
I often wonder if she feels the same
But not a word's ever whispered
How much more sorry could a guy get
How much more sorry could a person be
Yet, I'll take another drink
And hide behind my pride
Each and every time
She comes to mind
It's so strange
Strange to see photographs of us together
Times have changed
But this distance will last, for the better
Cause it might take a million years
To make up for the pain and tears
It's all a blur, I've left with her
How much more sorry could a guy get
How much more sorry could a person be
Yet, I'll take another drink
And hide behind my pride
Each and every time
She comes to mind
How much more sorry could a guy get
How much more sorry could a person be
Yet, I'll take another drink
And hide behind my pride
Each and every time
She comes to mind
Old enough to see things a bit more plainly
Once was told
You'll die alone a king, living so vainly
Burned every bridge that I could find
Loosened every knot that tries
To bind us to the past
Alone, at last
How much more sorry could a guy get
How much more sorry could a person be
Yet, I'll take another drink
And hide behind my pride
Each and every time
She comes to mind
I'm was young,
Young enough to see things
For what they could be
Tensely strung
By the selfish sting of what she meant to me
And all that's left is, more or less, a stain
I often wonder if she feels the same
But not a word's ever whispered
How much more sorry could a guy get
How much more sorry could a person be
Yet, I'll take another drink
And hide behind my pride
Each and every time
She comes to mind
It's so strange
Strange to see photographs of us together
Times have changed
But this distance will last, for the better
Cause it might take a million years
To make up for the pain and tears
It's all a blur, I've left with her
How much more sorry could a guy get
How much more sorry could a person be
Yet, I'll take another drink
And hide behind my pride
Each and every time
She comes to mind
How much more sorry could a guy get
How much more sorry could a person be
Yet, I'll take another drink
And hide behind my pride
Each and every time
She comes to mind
