Pride

I saw those tears fall down
From you face again
Saw the pain inside
Saw them fall like rain.
And the tears you cried
From the pain inside
Well my darlin girl
I know you just can't hide.

He took from you your freedom
and he took from you, your soul,
he took away the princess
and he took from you control.
He shattered all your friendships
and the family that you knew
you better think on leaving
or he'll take the life from you.

I saw the smiles all end
saw them disappear
saw your hopes and dreams
Saw them turn to fear.
And I saw you hide
From the shame inside
Well my darlin girl
I've seen the tears you've cried.

He took from you your freedom
and he took from you, your soul,
he took away the princess
and he took from you control.
He shattered all your friendships
and the family that you knew
you better think on leaving
or he'll take the life from you

You say your strength is gone
you say it went away
oh my darlin girl
its taking more to stay
And the tears you've cried
from the pain inside
well my darlin girl
don't let him take your pride.
