Pride and Joy

Pride and Joy - Brandi Carlile (布蘭迪 卡莉)

Time of day I can't recall

The kind of thing that takes its toll

Over years and over time

Over smiles and over wine

All in all it wasn't bad

All in all it wasn't good

But I still care

That's the problem with the days

They're never long enough to say

What it is you never said

All the books you never read

I throw myself into the wind

Hoping somebody might pick me up

And carry me again

Where are you now

Do you let me down

Do you make me grieve for you

Do I make you proud

Do you get me now

Am I your pride and joy

I believe this to be true

There's nothing sacred nothing new

No one tells you when its time

There are no warnings only signs

Then you know that you're alone

You're not a child anymore

But you're still scared

All your mountains turn to rocks

All your oceans turn to drops

They are nothing like you thought;

You can't be something you are not

Life is not a looking glass

Don't get tangled in your past

Like I am learning not to

Where are you now

Do you let me down

Do you make me grieve for you

Do I make you proud

Do you get me now

Am I your pride and joy
