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
