Eryc Ryan - Proud of Me Lyrics

I'm sorry momma
I'm sorry father
I didn't finish all of the things
You needed throughout the years
But I held on
To this one thought
That I'd make you happy if I could
Just look in the mirror

I have to murder the person I am
Just to become who I want to be
Too many nights spent wondering lost
Under the moon and the stars in my dreams

I wanna be famous
So you can remember me
So in a hundred years
You can be proud of me
I wanna be shameless
Be anything that you need
And for a thousand tears
You can have all of me

Listen up momma
Yeah listen up father
I'm halfway to hell
And half the man I used to be
So give me some mercy
Cause I sold my dignity
And better the devil you know
Then the one that you need

I wanna be famous
So you can remember me
So in a hundred years
You can be proud of me
I wanna be shameless
Be anything that you need
And for a thousand tears
You can have all of me

And if I go down in history
Or if I go down in flames
And ashes are all that's left of me
And nothing else remains
Yeah I did this for my family

Mom I'm gonna be famous
So they'll remember me
So in a thousand years
You'll still be proud of me
And dad I'll be famous
Be anything that they need
And for a million tears
They will have all of me

I'm sorry momma
