Pride’s Not Hard to Swallow Lyrics

I wish you'd look who's crawling back to you I never thought I'd live to see today
I swore to you the day I left this time I'd go for good
And I was even proud enough to tell myself I could
But it took a lot of lonely nights to ever change my mind
It took a lot of missing youth and things that I'd left behind
Intending to keep going but the going it got too rough
And pride's not hard to swallow once you chewed it long enough

I know we won't always see eye to eye
But if you'll take me back this time I'll really try
So many things I could have done so much I failed to do
I've never needed anyone as much as I need you
And it took a lot of lonely nights...

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
