The Vivid Project - Make You Proud. Lyrics

I still don't know how to feel about this
Should I even be sad
Feels like I don't even know you at all
But I still miss you, dad
Been looking through our old pictures
Wishing I could remember
I guess I just cut you out of my mind
Cause it hurts too much to think of you all the time

It's hard to say
Everything that's been
On my brain for far too long
So take me back
To all my younger days
So I won't have to miss you anymore

Cause the more I love you
The more I'll care
The more I miss you
The more you're there
I don't want to lose your memory
But I fear that I've been drifting away
So I'll make you proud of me
Proud of me, proud of me, proud of me
I'll make you proud of me

I try not to have you on my thoughts
Cause every time you are I begin to feel lost
I feel like I lost all the opportunities to know my own father
And growing up every day makes that just a little harder
Cause as I grow up, I realize everything I've missed
All the moments I never got to have
You never showing up to any of my sporting events
I guess that's why I left that life behind

Cause growing up
Is never easy to do
But as I get older
I try to prove myself
But if life keeps knocking me down
Where do I turn to
If I have lost my way

Cause the more I love you
The more I'll care
The more I miss you
The more you're there
I don't want to lose your memory
But I fear that I've been drifting away
So I'll make you proud of me
Proud of me, proud of me, proud of me
I'll make you proud of me

There are only fragments of what I can remember
Which makes me sad inside
So I'll make sure to never let you die, inside my mind
So I will take the pain, I won't throw it away
Cause every scar makes me stronger
And your memory pushes me farther
And I'll make you proud of me
Proud of me, proud of me, proud of me, I'll make you proud of me
Proud of me, proud of me, proud of me, I'll make you proud of me

Every memory we've had
Every moment we've shared
I won't let this go
Cause I know one day
I'll make you proud of me
(I miss you dad)
