[Verse]
Tell me a secret, I promise you I’ll take it to the grave
Tell me your nightmares, I promise I won’t run, I’ll be brave
I have a desire to dance close to the edge of disaster
And I can feel it locked within you but you are hardly its’ master, oh no

[Chorus]
Broke my back to make you change
(I never wanted to, never wanted to be saved)
I pushed, you always made way
(I always wanted you, yeah wanted you to stay)
Just can’t watch you burn
(I’m just so)
But you never learn
(You’re just so)
Stubborn
(Don’t be so, don’t be so)

[Verse]
I went in blind, I thought I could fix you but it’s not what you wanted
You took my hand and step by step you lead me farther
To no man’s land, past the point of no return
And I stayed there, thinking I could resist you further, oh no

[Chorus]
Broke my back to make you change
(I never wanted to, never wanted to be saved)
I pushed, you always made way
(I always wanted you, yeah wanted you to stay)
Just can’t watch you burn
(I’m just so)
But you never learn
(You’re just so)
Stubborn
(Don’t be so, don’t be so)
Stubborn
[Bridge]
You know that I like the rush
I know that you like the pain
We shouldn’t get to pick and choose what parts to throw away
I could tell you were a phase
You always knew you wouldn’t change
We both know I needed you the way you needed me
You know that I like the rush
I know that you like the pain
We shouldn’t get to pick and choose what parts to throw away
I could tell you were a phase
You always knew you wouldn’t change
We both know I needed you the way you needed me
Don’t be so, Don’t be so


[Chorus]
Broke my back to make you change
(I never wanted to, never wanted to be saved)
I pushed, you always made way
(I always wanted you, yeah wanted you to stay)
Broke my back to make you change
(I never wanted to, never wanted to be saved)
I pushed, you always made way
(I always wanted you, yeah wanted you to stay)
Just can’t watch you burn
(I’m just so)
But we never learn
(You’re just so)
Stubborn
Don’t be so
Stubborn
