Too proud to say we were wrong 
You let me leave you 
And you knew that I was gone 
Long before I stopped pretending 

The one who chose my love so carefully 
You should have loved me better 
I'm not one to call to blame 
Fools at love--they're all the same 
Too proud to say they're wrong 
Too proud and then they're gone 

And who was I to think I'd change at all 
I've always been alone 
And bet I often freedom and not a prisoner to the cause 
And all my pain was by my own hands 

The one who thought that love could last forever 
Guess I should have checked my record 
'Cause now I see that love is not blind 
It just stands frozen watching from behind 

Too proud to say I'm wrong 
Too proud and then I'm gone 
Too proud to say we're wrong 
Too proud it's all gone
