Pride

You left a mark on my face
And brought a dozen red flags in a vase
You thought everything would be okay
But it's not okay

Nobody you saw the other side
You turn into Jekyll and I'd run and hide
And I'd come back, I don't know why
I don't know why

You'll take a whiskey, you'll take a wine
You'll take anything as long as it was mine
You choke it down and chase it with a lie
The only thing that you can't swallow is your pride, oh-whoa

Are you insane? Or are you brilliant?
Am I crazy? Or just resilient?
I'll never know, and you'll never tell
The kids don't know the truth, maybe that's just as well

You'll take a whiskey, you'll take a wine
You'll take anything as long as it was mine
And you choke it down and chase it with a lie
The only thing that you can't swallow is your pride, mm-hm

Even now that I'm leavin'
You won't say you're wrong
And you'll never believe it
That I'm movin' on without you
Yeah, I wrote this song about you
Yeah, I wrote this song about you

You'll take a whiskey, you'll take a wine
You'll take anything as long as it was mine
And you choke it down and chase it with a lie
The only thing that you can't swallow is your pride, oh-whoa
Ooh-ooh
