Stubborn

Won't you come into the water?
God knows what you'll find
So, you've come to wash the blood off
Cleanse out your mind?

There's a bad taste in my mouth
And I can't rid myself of it
Counting off your debts

And you will use me, shame me blame me
Take me for granted
I hope I don't remember
Any of this, any of this
My skin crawls all around me
You've done this so many times before
What you waiting for?

You'll only go walking in the day
But it's still not enough to keep you safe
But it's still your own fault, you should have

And when will these pretend protectors pay?
They're all starting to look the same
But you, you, preserve and perfect them
You'll always deflect for them and

They always say how it's such a shame
But these things they never seem to change
You'll spend your life looking over your shoulder and
I didn't need to know her coz
Every woman's felt the exact same way

Early this morning I saw
Straight through to the other side
In the haze I could see
The snarl that makes your smile

There was nothing to gain from this so
I did it to myself
But why should I save your skin when I
I had the right to change my mind?

And maybe I don't have the time for all these
Fickle fiendish lies
And I know even I deserve so much more than this
And I reserve my right to question it
