Lyrics

Living Proof

Take all the hate and all the pain
And throw it back into their faces
I know they hate to see us win
And I love to bring them down

And when I'm gone, I hope you know
That I do it all for you
So if you need a little help
Here and now, this is living proof

This living proof separates weak from true
Who are you?

These are the words I wish I had
When I needed them the most
'Cause everybody hangs around when you're on top
But until then, you're alone

I'm living just to prove you wrong
And I'm here just to bring you hope
I'll be the devil on your shoulder
Pushing you to break those rules

We're living just to prove you wrong
We're here just to bring you hope
I'll be the angel on your shoulder
Telling you to keep holding on and on

Living proof!
