Australia Decides 2020:
Casey Donovan - "Proud"

Proud

You don't know how long it took
Chasing out my demons
You don't know how long it took
To know I wasn't cheated

You were the one that I looked to
Your words were meant to hold me
But you turned me away
It was hate that you showed me

So you can shut me out
But I will stand tall
And you can let me down
But I will be strong

He's a light that I turn to
And she's a love I'll never lose
So you can shut me out
But I will stand tall and proud

You don't know how much I cried
Before I could order the words
Your face is seared in my memory
A face that I didn't deserve

'Cause you are the one that I looked to
Your words were meant to hold me
But you turned me away
It was hate that you showed me

So you can shut me out
But I will stand tall
And you can let me down
But I will be strong

He's a light that I turn to
And she's a love I'll never lose
So you can shut me out
But I will stand tall and proud

Well, maybe it's too late, too late
To say what you didn't say
But I'll be okay

So you can shut me out
But I will stand tall
And you can let me down
But I will fly and soar

He's a light that I turn to
She's a love I'll never lose
So you can shut me out (Shut me out)
But I will ѕtand tall аnd proud
And proud, oooooh
