And the lyrics:

———-

Such a nice day outside, I wish I could enjoy.
But there’s a weight on my mind, I feel like a little boy.
I can’t believe the things I said, they are not true.
And worst of all I know what I said really did hurt you.

Why did I have to open my mouth again?
I wish I could say that I’m not him.

My mom and dad told me, “Son, think before you talk.”
So I’m not used to taking back things that might shock.
When I’m wrong it’s just so hard to swallow my pride.
I’d apologize but I don’t know how – I’ve tried.

Why can’t I just keep my mouth shut?
Now I know how deep words can cut.

Stubbornness, I just can’t take it back.
Stubbornness, I wish I could relax.

Why can’t I just keep my mouth shut?
Now I know how deep words can cut.

Stubbornness, I just can’t take it back.
Stubbornness, I wish I could relax.

How many times in my life have I been oh so wrong?
Nobody’s perfect, you can screw up and still be strong.
Got to learn how to bite my tongue when I’m not sure.
Hope it’s not too late to be the only one for her.

Why did I have to open my mouth again?
I wish I could say that I’m not him.

Stubbornness, I just can’t take it back.
Stubbornness, I wish I could relax.

Stubbornness, I just can’t take it back.
Stubbornness, I wish I could relax.
