Lyrics Stubborn - The Ocean Party

Stubborn

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
