Stubborn

Growing up
Not saying much
Sounds like sob story
Can’t help it, it’s just me
All my life
Cared bout what people say
I tried to stay stubborn
Say “insults, they dont hurt”

I kept everyone proud
So I don’t get singled out
But now I know, now I know
Built Unnecessary pressure
To the point that I can't hold myself accountable

Say I, I don’t cry
My mouth burning with lies
Chose to ignore it, say I’m fine
Ask why, why do I?
Make excuses and then embarrass myself
Why can’t I just have fun like everyone else
Like everyone else

Getting all A’s
Was all just a game
There was no learning
Im sure others can relate

I kept everyone proud
So I don’t get singled out
But now I know, now I know

Say I, I don’t cry
My mouth burning with lies
Chose to ignore it, say I’m fine
Ask why, why do I?
Make excuses and then embarrass myself
What would happen if I just…

Changed the game
Oh changed the game
No complaining
Oh just doing it
Oh change the game

I don’t have to live for others
I don’t have to live by others
I don’t have to live for other
I don’t…

Say I, I don’t cry
My mouth burning with lies
Chose to ignore it, say I’m fine
Ask why, why do I?
Make excuses and then embarrass myself
Why can’t I just have fun like everyone else?
