So Proud of You Lyrics

She's out there in her ordinary life
She don't need me
She's got a special place safe in her heart
It don't want me

I'm gonna end up burning out too soon
The way you call me out every night
I'm gonna end up killing yourself soon
All those troubles are such a worry now

I took from her everything she had
I'm still empty
Never been so proud of anyone
But she left me

I'm gonna end up burning out too soon
The way you call me out every night
I'm gonna end up killing yourself soon
All those troubles are such a worry now

She's out there in her ordinary life
But don't need me
She's got a special place safe in her heart
It don't want me
Don't want me

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

This is my favorite GBC song. The way they play it is just so powerful that it really brings the song to your heart. To me it describes a guy who falls in love with a girl, but doesn't realize it until he's used her and she leaves him. It's then that he finds himself just as empty as he was before. This kinda hits home for me because I've had the same problem, and am still dealing with it to this day. Guess you get what you deserve.

I love this song, Go Big Casino brings everything that Jimmy eat World does with a lo-fi feel to it. The song, like everything written by these guys, is subject to interpretation, but from Jim and Tom's view it seems like this was a girl who they had a relationship end with because of the strain of being in a band and on the road so often, if you look at the lyrics " shes out there in an ordinary life " " took everything she had " I just get that feel, and I can imagine it would be a huge problem for the guys to deal with. Great Song no matter how you look at it though.
