So Proud Of You Lyrics

Well, she's out there in her ordinary life
But don't need me
She's got a special place saved in her heart
But don't want me

I'm going to end up burning out too soon
The way you call me out every night
I'm going to end up killing you so soon
All those troubles, is it you wanted now?

I took from her everything she had
I'm still empty
I've never been so proud of anyone
When she left me

I'm going to end up burning out too soon
The way you call me out every night
I'm going to end up killing you so soon
All those troubles, is it you wanted now?

Well, she's out there in her ordinary life
But don't need me
She's got a special place saved in her heart
But don't want me
But don't want me

Cover art for So Proud Of You lyrics by Jimmy Eat World

i'm 99% sure these are the lyrics, it's just the paper i got them on got a little messed up...anyway, i think this is about a guy looking back at how badly he treated his ex girlfriend, and that he is so pleased that she has moved on because she deserves better. i think he realised he was just using her ("i took from her everything") and that she was starting to annoy him with her need of an actual relationship ("i'm gonna end up killing you so soon"). despite the fact he sees the relationship as a failure, he is pleased that she is no longer dependant on him ("but don't need me/but don't want me"). cool song, although it isn't really jimmy eat world, more just jimmy :-). anyways, that's what i think...

This song is so cool. Is there a studio version, cos all I can find is the live version. ???

This is actually a Go Big Casino song...not Jimmy Eat World...and, i don't think studio versions of any Go Big Casino songs even exist

Yea, Go Big Casino, being Jim's side project. It's not a Jimmy eat World song...it's definately Go Big Casino.

It's Go Big Casino indeed, and Jim played it on one of his solo performances. Love the song, lyrics are pretty straightforward i think. xpankfrisst got it quite right i think.
