Stubborn as Leaves
Style: Country waltz

[Verse 1]
Brown leaves cling to the damp ground
They won't let go, won't fall down
Wind comes hard by the broken fence
You hold on to me just like them

[Pre-chorus]
I've seen what the cold months take
But you never learned to break
So my heart keeps leaning your way

[Chorus]
Thea, you're the one thing that stays
Through the grey and the fading days
Nia never held me so near
Thea, I still choose you, right here

[Verse 2]
Fence slats fall but the posts remain
Bent a little, standing again
You're the steady thing in my view
When the rest goes, I turn to you

[Pre-chorus]
I've seen what the cold months take
But you never learned to break
So my heart keeps leaning your way

[Chorus]
Thea, you're the one thing that stays
Through the grey and the fading days
Nia never held me so near
Thea, I still choose you, right here

[Bridge]
Some love blooms and some love waits
Some love just stays out in all weathers
You never asked to be easy
You just stayed, and that's enough

[Chorus]
Thea, you're the one thing that stays
Through the grey and the fading days
Nia never held me so near
Thea, I still choose you, right here

[Outro]
Leaves will lie there long past spring
Same as you, still holding to me
