  • You're stubborn as they come, you'll never settle down
    You'll always be the one who doesn't stick around
    You make all the rules, you're set in your ways
    You gotta have your freedom, you gotta have your space

    But one day you'll meet the girl you swore you'd never find
    Start feeling things you never felt and spending all your time
    Trying to figure out how she got this hold on you
    And when you start to fall, you'll hold onto your pride
    Start building up your walls and ever let her get inside
    You'll push her away 'cause that's all you know how to do
    And then she'll leave and you won't beg her not to go
    Ask me how I know

    Go on and shake your head and tell me that I'm wrong
    Say, "I'm just another fool and this is just another song"
    But I know how you are 'cause I know how I am
    And I'd give anything to go back and try again

    'Cause one day you'll meet the girl you swore you'd never find
    Start feeling things you never felt and spending all your time
    Trying to figure out how she got this hold on you
    And when you start to fall, you'll hold onto your price
    Start building up your walls and ever let her get inside
    You'll push her away 'cause that's all you know how to do
    And then she'll leave and you won't beg her not to go
    Ask me how I know

    And you best put this song on repeat
    Maybe then you won't end up like me

    'Cause one day you'll meet the girl you swore you'd never find
    Start feeling things you never felt and spending all your time
    Trying to figure out how she got this hold on you
    And when you start to fall, you'll hold onto your price
    Start building up your walls and ever let her get inside
    You'll push her away 'cause that's all you know how to do
    And then she'll leave and you won't beg her not to go
    Ask me how I know, 'cause man I know Writer/s: MITCH ROSSEL
