Let Me Make You Proud

Maybe I make things a mess
And maybe you're right to have doubts in me
Maybe, but nevertheless
If you for once could just trust me

Just this once let me come through for you
The way that you want me to

Let me make you proud
Let me show you the best in me
Let me give you a reason to believe that I can stand tall

And when I return
And I'm more than you dreamt I'd be
Maybe then you will realize that you never actually knew me at all

Sure, I've made lots of mistakes
I know that I've disappointed you
Still, though, whatever it takes
I'm gonna fix it, just watch me

Just you wait, I'll make it up to you
If it's the last thing I ever do

I will make you proud
I will make you have faith in me
I will prove that the way I used to be is all in the past

I will save the day
And come back here triumphantly
'Cause I long for that look of
surprise when you see your son rising at last
The pride in your eyes when you see your son rising at last
