Matchbox Lyrics by Kevin Herig

Stubborn Heart

2018

I couldn’t hear you; a loose truth in the wind
I’d never catch you floating by on a whim
I couldn’t see you through all the smoke
I’ve been at the bitter end of a heart that you broke
Your love is a thunderstorm, but you are the calm
Holding tight, the wick to keep you warm
It’s bound to burst your palm
I’ve never once won at your double-dealing games
I’ve never doubted what you thought and what you said were the same
I never caught on, I never caught on to your underhanded jokes
I saw them look the other way, a crab clenched to their coats
Your love’s a delicate coup; a castle of cards
When you’ve got a joker and a short fuse, it’ll fall flat to the start
I’ve been watching you; how you savor something good
But it grows stale over years of always waiting longer than you should
I tried to find you; you’d been gone for so long
Found something I never knew, it was me you were hiding from
Your love is a mountaintop and your crown is the sun
Reaching higher atop a matchbox
It’ll burn your soul if you run
You were hoping an angel’s haunt, but you got the ghost’s
Set a fire to what your heart wants;
Dust off what you need most
