Wrong Side Of Pride

"Wrong Side Of Pride"
2009
 
First we tried our charms
Now we're taking up our arms
Girl, we're locked and loaded
We're so locked and loaded
The cross-hairs help our aim
When we're handing out the blame
And our words are quoted
Oh, our words are quoted
And though my armor's tight
I won't make it through the night
Without this girl beside me
Now that pride's denied me
Though these circumstances sting
I hear the cannons start to sing
And the smoke is blinding
But I'm slowly finding
That I'm on the wrong side of my pride.
Battle cries will fill the air
While they're causing us to swear
Oh, our words are profane
Why are our words so profane
And we won't pay the other mind
'Cause we have targets left to find
It's the mark we're making
I think our hearts are breaking
And though my armor's tight
I won't make it through the night
Without this girl beside me
Now that pride's denied me
Though these circumstances sting
I hear the cannons start to sing
And the smoke is blinding
But I'm slowly finding
That I'm on the wrong side of my pride.
We were each convicted of a crime
And our two cents then combined
Have we paid the big cost
Look at all we have lost
Now it's in pieces that we lay
And peace is all we have to say
Babe, our white flags are waving
And it's our love we're saving
And darling I don't mind at all
Because pride just brings the fall
And girl, I fell for you
Why can't you tell it's true?
But it's pride that I'll suppress
Just to see you in the dress
You wore when I put my arms around you
The first night that I found you
'Cause you were then, and you are now
The most beautiful soul around
And I don't know when, or how
But we'll get the pieces off the ground
Because though my armor's tight
I won't make it through the night
Without you there beside me
Now that pride's denied me
Though these circumstances sting
I hear my baby start to sing
That the smoke was blinding
But I'm slowly finding
The door is open, you can come inside.
