Pride

I’m sickened
I know I’ve been betrayed
But I keep ignoring
The warning signs
You tell me That I’m not beneath you
But you act above me Knives in my spine
Now with all the money in the world
You can’t buy my respect
Yeah, it’s just a matter of pride
But that’s all I’ve got left
I reach up For your hand as you stand
Looking down on me but
You turn your back
I believed you
Now everything that we had
That I thought was sacred
Has turned to black
Now with all the money in the world
You can’t buy my respect
Yeah, it’s just a matter of pride
But that’s all I’ve got left
