Pride's Not Hard To Swallow
Mark Chesnut

I wish you'd look who's crawlin' back to you
I never thought I'd live to see today
I swore to you the day
I left, this time I'd go for good
And I was even proud enough to tell myself I could

And it took a lot of lonely nights to ever change my mind
It took a lot of missin' you, and things I left behind
Intending to keep goin', but the goin' got too rough
And pride's not hard to swallow
Once you chew it long enough

I know we won't always see eye to eye
But if you'll take me back this time I'll really try
So many things I should have done, so much I failed to do
I've never needed any one as much as I need you

And it took a lot of lonely nights to ever change my mind
It took a lot of missin' you, and things I left behind
Intending to keep goin', but the goin' got too rough
And pride's not hard to swallow
Once you chew it long enough

No pride's not hard to swallow
Once you chew it long enough
