Stubborn - The Ocean Party

I’ve been so stubborn as to argue the point I don’t believe

Insignificant thoughts I couldn’t even concede

Insecurity speakin' for me, I listen and agree

At the right time, I slip away into the darkness I recede

And so I straighten up my back

And I shave off all my hair

I’ve never lookin' back

But all these burdens are still there

Not takin' chances embedded in my own self-doubt

Pretend to understand what all the books I read were about

Between the lines, I find a place to hide and call my own

If no one sees me, I can live with all the seeds I’ve sewn

And so I straighten up my back

And I shave off all my hair

I’ve never lookin' back

But all these burdens are still there

I’ve straightened out my facts

And I’ve learned how not to care

I’m never looking back

But all these burdens are still there

If I could take just one moment to reassess myself

I wouldn’t do it, always too scared to ask for your help

Create white noise and just keep walkin' on around my head

Your intelligence won’t define me when I’m dead
