about

This song was inspired by conversations Kit had with their mom, best friends, and husband about their collective struggles during some of their hardest moments. No matter what you're going through, I hope you're proud of everything you've done to make it this far.

lyrics

[Verse 1]
She called me in tears
Said, "Hey, can I chat with you?"
"Yeah, whatever you need
Is there anything I can do?"

[Verse 2]
(She said:)
"Life has been hard
Same stuff, but different day
No fixes to find
Why did things go this way?

[Pre-Chorus]
Wake up, feel like such a wreck
Every day I wonder, will I make it to the next?
Who's this? Is the old me dead?
It's silly that I feel so proud of getting out of bed"

[Chorus]
Getting by when things aren't fine
You're brave and
You should be proud
You've survived all your worst times
You're strong and
You should be proud
You should be proud
You should be proud

[Verse 3]
I'm down on myself (I’m feeling down)
No part's safe from critique (Oooooo)
Try as I may
I'm my worst enemy

[Verse 4]
I focus on flaws
Before they can say them first
Holding the blade
Won't change how much it hurts

[Verse 5]
I try and I try
No matter how I gain ground
It's never enough
Why aren't I proud?

[Pre-Chorus]
Wake up, feel like such a wreck
Every day I wonder will I make it to the next
Who's this? Is the old me dead?
It's silly that I feel so proud of getting out of bed

[Chorus]
Getting by when things aren't fine
You're brave and
You should be proud
You've survived all your worst times
You're strong and
You should be proud

[Chorus]
Getting by when things aren't fine
You're brave and
You should be proud
You've survived all your worst times
You're strong and
You should be proud

[Outro]
You don't need permission
If you're alive and listening
Then you should be proud
Be proud, yeah
You should be proud
