about

I wanted to close it all off with a song that just radiates power and strength. The lyrics in this song are basically what you would say when you have a fake argument in your head and WIN. Writing it made me feel a little more empowered and I hope it leaves listeners feeling that way as well.

lyrics

Hold Onto My Pride

I love you honey but you're driving me insane
I've got one foot out the door I'm just waiting out the rain
I've got a bag full of money and a ticket out of town
So whatcha gonna say to keep me around?

You wanna drop me at the bus stop
Leave me all guilty and watch how it kills me
You want me begging on the floor like
“Please don't leave me lonely
You're my only...”

But I'm gonna hold on, I’m gonna hold on to my pride
I'm gonna hold on, I'm gonna hold on to my pride

So I take a hike it's become a very pretty day
Oh, birds in the trees singing "look who got away"
And I've never felt so light I could float to outer space
I'm alive I'm alive oh whatcha gonna say?

You think I'll hate California
Cause I'll be pining for you
Running on empty
You think this is temporary
Isolation scares me
Baby please

I'll be living the high life
Once you're out of my life
I will be fine sir
I won't be begging on the floor like
Please don't leave me lonely
You don't know me

Cause I'm gonna hold on, I’m gonna hold on to my pride
I'm gonna hold on, I'm gonna hold on to my pride

We had some good times there
But I don't really care, oh

I'm gonna hold on, I’m gonna hold on to my pride
I'm gonna hold on, I'm gonna hold on to my pride (x2)
