Proud

[Verse 1] Dad's at his desk, another night of never clocking out I wonder if he's feeling okay Mom does her best, she used to be a figure skater Is she sad it didn't turn out that way? [Pre-Chorus] They're people, not parents Have feelings, learn lessons And sometimes I just forget it I regret I haven't said it [Chorus] That I don't wanna patronize But I wanna recognize the things that you do And I know you've lived a thousand lives But I know you sacrificed a lot of them too I hope I didn't get in the way I hope you'rе happier every day Now that I'm oldеr, I can tell it's overdue But I'm proud of you [Verse 2] Does it make you happy that I'm out in California Doing all the things that you would wanna do? Do you feel sorry for just staying in the suburbs in Chicago Or does that make you happy too? [Pre-Chorus] You're people, not parents Have dreams, aspirations And sometimes I just forget it I regret I haven't said it [Chorus] That I don't wanna patronize But I wanna recognize the things that you do And I know you've lived a thousand lives But I know you sacrificed a lot of them too I hope I didn't get in the way I hope you're happier every day Now that I'm older, I can tell it's overdue But I'm proud of you [Bridge] I'm proud I'm proud of you I'm proud I'm proud of you too I'm proud I'm proud of you But I'm proud of you [Chorus] And I don't wanna patronize But I wanna recognize the things that you do And I know you've lived a thousand lives But I know you sacrificed a lot of them too I hope I didn't get in the way I hope you're happier every day Now that I'm older, I can tell it's overdue But I'm proud of you
