[Someone I'm Proud To Be]

Needed to vent some of my feelings after a recent break up.

Hope you enjoy...

[Someone I'm Proud To Be]

I woke with this fear
Knew something was wrong
Asked myself questions
Found comfort in songs

Knew you'd be leaving
I guess I could tell
The way you were acting
Just put me through hell

Now I'm letting go of everything I had...

So I'll set you free
And if we're meant to be
You'll realise you're lonely
Come crawling back to me

But until that time comes
Know that you're the only one
Who's ever made me someone...

Someone I'm proud to be
Someone I'm proud to be

Now I'm left scared
Sometimes it just hits you
So well unprepared

I will be waiting
And I will be strong
A brave face for the ones
I've loved all along

Now I'm letting go of everything I had...

So I'll set you free
And if we're meant to be
You'll realise you're lonely
Come crawling back to me

But until that time comes
Know that you're the only one
Who's ever made me someone...

Someone I'm proud to be

I don't know
Where it all went wrong
My heart aches
I never thought we'd be alone

So I'll set you free
And if we're meant to be
You'll realise you're lonely
Come crawling back to me

But until that time comes
Just know that you're the only one
Who's ever made me someone...

Someone I'm proud to be
(My Sweet Bethanie)

I really like it. It is dealing with a fairly cliché subject, but I don't think you've fell into any of the cliché traps to be honest. Very nice structure too.
I hope everything gets sorted out for you. Keep up the good work.

In my own expert opinion,i think cliche's are dumb.music is here to express yourself,and cliche's should never hold you back from writing anything.your song is very well constructed and i gave many kudos to you.i was surprised to see a pre-chorus in there.i just posted 4 of my songs,check em out and tell me what you think.

good structure, easy reading/LISTENING, beautiful text, in one word: it's great!
