i surrender to the storm;

I upgraded my tickets for January's Motion City Soundtrack show in Boston, and one of the VIP perks is a custom lyric sheet from Justin Courtney Pierre. Now I have to choose which lyrics he can write! I've narrowed it down to two:

They say that doesn't kill us makes us who we are (from "It Had to Be You")

or

"I'm really not as stubborn as I seem," said the knuckle to the concrete (from "Even If It Kills Me")

Which should I choose??

On a writing note: My hlh_shortcuts fic is off to beta and I finished my Yuletide assignment today. It has to sit before I edit it, but I'm on track for where I wanted to be in December, and I'm hopeful I'll finish the treat I started today. Work is miserable, but writing helps.
