When I'm hurt then I come on strong I want to break down But I just keep it in Being too strong is a weakness, girl 'Cause when you fight the world You know who's gonna win And you say I won't look you in the eye It's like talking to a wall But a wall can crumble down Yeah there's something that's deep inside That's gotta be tough Whenever you're around I've got this Foolish Pride And Pride goes before a fall Yeah I've got this Foolish Pride You make me feel like the livin' end But the end came quick And made me want to die So I played like I didn't care Didn't mess my hair Believe me I don't know why I've got this Foolish Pride And Pride goes before a fall Yeah I've got this Foolish Pride If I wanted I colled have fooled 'em all That's great 'til tomorrow when I'm all alone You know the truth comes out in the end When the fools start falling they need their friends
