Stubborn Love

[Verse 1]
High-school halls, you were the sport star who hated class,
Asked me to the debutante, a love that moved too fast.
Atlantic Star was playing for that first soft evening kiss,
Two kids back home just dreaming, never felt a thing like this.

[Chorus]
Nanda, through the haze of all the years, you’re still my home,
Through Cape Town healing, and the fear of the unknown.
From empty pockets, no real plan, no roof above,
We went and built this entire life on stubborn love.

[Verse 2]
Australia’s silence met us, pockets cold and deep,
You worked all night while I held promises we'd keep.
Our first child came, the whole world seemed to hold its breath,
Then anger moved in slowly, scared us both to death.

[Bridge]
We’re both so tired, worn down by the fight,
But if this is our only life, I choose you every night.

[Outro]
Always, always... my heart will stay the same.
