Stubborn Girl
Well I don't believe in Jesus
Not the way my Momma thinks I should
I was never the best girl
but I did the best that I could
a selfish perspective
that I broke my way out of
now I care too much for comfort
I never get comfortable
Where am I going?
what am I doing?
who am I showing up for?
I don't have answers
I don't have a prayer
I'm just a stubborn girl
who thinks she'll get there
I used to be a dreamer
but cynicism's cyanide
and at this point I don't know
if my wants get out alive
who am I? what does it matter?
when I get older
does it get better?
I think I've heard it all before
Where am I going?
what am I doing?
who am I showing up for?
I don't have answers
I don't have a prayer
I'm just a stubborn girl
who thinks she'll get there
I've got a thing for nice guys
with underlying mean sides
now tell me how I don't add up
and kiss me like I'm not enough
tell me things you won't remember
hold me close in the morning
something about a red sky
and a sad girls warning
Where am I going?
what am I doing?
who am I showing up for?
I don't have answers
I don't have a prayer
I'm just a stubborn girl
who thinks she'll get there
Not the way my Momma thinks I should
I was never the best girl
but I did the best that I could
a selfish perspective
that I broke my way out of
now I care too much for comfort
I never get comfortable
Where am I going?
what am I doing?
who am I showing up for?
I don't have answers
I don't have a prayer
I'm just a stubborn girl
who thinks she'll get there
I used to be a dreamer
