TIOT – MY PRIDE (English translation)

(Verse 1)
I tell myself I don’t wanna need you,
But my heart pulls me back every time, a truth I can’t refuse.
I’m so afraid of losing you,
This tangled mess of feelings has me spinning, out of control.

Oh, with just one word, you can shatter my sky.
I’m tired of walking this emotional tightrope, so high.
The truth is, I just wanna choose you,
I’m ready to stop pretending and define this “us.”

(Pre-Chorus)
Day by day,
From morning light to the midnight moon, you’re all I see.
And just like that, I’m disarmed, falling again for your smile so effortlessly.

(Chorus)
You know exactly how to kill my pride, my pride.
Why do you do this to me again? Every time, every time.
You leave me so confused.
Baby, please, don’t kill my pride.

You know I don’t care about my pride, my pride.
Day and night, I’m right where you want me, in the palm of your hand (you know it).
My pride, my pride… don’t kill my pride.

(Verse 2)
You don’t even have to say my name,
But I find myself slowing down, playing your silent game.
I pretend it’s fine if you drift away,
“I’m fine, I’m fine,” I lie, but what can I say?

All day, the thought of you makes me smile, then I sigh,
Tears threaten to fall, my thoughts collide, and I wanna cry.
I’m playing rock-paper-scissors alone, a pointless fight,
You hold all the power, you’ve got the juice, alright?
Just how long will you keep me hanging on?
And today, once again, my resolve is gone.

(Pre-Chorus)
Day by day,
From morning light to the midnight moon, you’re all I see.
And I fall again for your teasing, so completely.

(Chorus)
You know exactly how to kill my pride, my pride.
Why do you do this to me again? Every time, every time.
You leave me so confused.
Baby, please, don’t kill my pride.

You know I don’t care about my pride, my pride.
Day and night, I’m right where you want me, in the palm of your hand (you know it).
My pride, my pride… don’t kill my pride.

(Bridge)
Why are you so selfish, but only with me?
Your constant refrain is just, “Let it be.”
But I don’t want slow; I just want it to be you.
You never come knocking; what am I supposed to do?
For once, just come find me, I need you to know…
Then my phone lights up with a “Hey, you up?” and I’m lost,
At last, you’ve come to me, no matter the cost.

(Final Chorus)
You know exactly how to kill my pride, my pride.
Knowing full well what you do, again, every time, every time.
I keep falling for you again.
Baby, please, don’t kill my pride.

You know I don’t care about my pride, my pride.
Day and night, I’m right where you want me, in the palm of your hand (you know it).
My pride, my pride… don’t kill my pride.

(Outro)
Na-na-na-na… Na-na-na-na, my pride…
Na-na-na-na…
Don’t kill my pride.
