Desperate Pride


Verse 1

Is it love? 
Or is it self-acclaim?
My thoughts unclear
They always seem to feel the same

Hearts get hurt
And though I feel ashamed (the shame) (“Let’s be clear” – spoken)
In this love affair
I will not take the blame

Chorus


Live for 
The good things in life
But I can’t reconcile
Jealous desires
With a warm compassion 

Verse 2

Survival wins
It’s in the DNA
But when conflict strikes
It’s doesn’t somehow feel that way

I’m wasting time
Hating things that never change
And promises
That never see the light of day

Chorus

Live for 
The good things in life
But I can’t reconcile
Jealous desires
With a deep and generous mind

Faint hearts
Flip-flop inside
But I must sacrifice
Desperate pride…
For a world that’s calm and kind

Verse 3

Heaven knows
Why we trust ourselves
Judgements flawed
While the spaceship heads direction hell

In this love affair
The world’s got a point-of-view to tell
It’s not about me
Jesus knows and I should know as well

Chorus

Live for 
The good things in life
But I can’t reconcile
Jealous desires
With a deep and generous mind

Faint hearts
Flip-flop inside
But I must sacrifice
Desperate pride…
For a love that’s calm and kind
