headstrong is willing to live like a rat in a hole
headstrong... unwilling to listen to anyone at all
keeps her head above the water,
keeps her head upon her shoulders
I know, I know, I know she has heard this all before
she don't break, she don't sink, don't think, a thing of me

headstrong can fake an awkwardness,
silenced by the price of love
don't get too close in case, push comes to shove
won't be your favorite girl, won't hear our favorite song
she's heard it all before

I don't mind she knows the words I'm writing
--we all need some pain
and remember, what you told me, we all bleed the same

headstrong is making a list so long, of all the people she has
done and undone again -- my name engraved
she doesn't notice the things that I take for granted were my
own to give, my own to give and take
she don't break, she don't think don't sink
don't want to give or take my love
don't break don't sink don't think of me
