Ash Reed – Proud Of Me (Official Audio)

"Proud Of Me" is a dark country GraveSoul reflective track about growth, resilience, and finally recognizing how far you’ve come. Lyrics: " I been walking through hell with my head down low Thinking any minute I would let myself go Heart too heavy, breath too tight Still woke up for another fight I don’t brag ’bout the pain I hid Don’t talk ’bout the nights I slid But I stayed alive when it got too dark Held myself when I fell apart Nobody saw what it took Nobody read that book If you knew the war in me You’d understand why I speak I’m proud of me ’Cause I survived days I swore that I couldn’t breathe I’m proud of me ’Cause I held on tight when the ground tried to steal my feet I’m proud of me For every scar, every night that I couldn’t sleep If nobody ever sees what I’ve been through I’m proud of me I gave love to the ones who left Stayed loyal when I had nothing left I forgave more than I should’ve forgave But somehow my heart still stayed I been quiet in a loud damn world Still fighting like a wounded girl Still breathing with a fractured soul Still here when I lost control I ain’t perfect but I’m real And I learned how to heal I ain’t who I used to be And that’s enough for me I’m proud of me ’Cause I survived days I swore that I couldn’t breathe I’m proud of me ’Cause I held on tight when the ground tried to steal my feet I’m proud of me For every scar, every night that I couldn’t sleep If nobody ever sees what I’ve been through I’m proud of me I don’t need applause for what I climbed I don’t need praise for what I survived I don’t need love to validate I just need peace inside my space I been broken, I been bruised Still walked roads I didn’t choose I lost people, I lost faith Still showed up anyway I ain’t asking you to understand I just hope you see the man Who kept fighting through the storm Even when he wasn’t strong If tomorrow gets too heavy I’ll remind myself steady I been through worse before I’ll get through more I’m proud of me ’Cause I survived days I swore that I couldn’t breathe I’m proud of me ’Cause I held on tight when the ground tried to steal my feet I’m proud of me For every scar, every night that I couldn’t sleep If nobody ever sees what I’ve been through I’m proud of me Yeah… Finally am.
