I Ain't Leaving Lyrics

Broken on the inside, that?s what I used to say
Then I?d pack my bags, raise a white flag, drive away
I thought that?s what made me strong
But I was young, I was wrong

And I ain?t leaving any more
I?m not walking out that door
No more running away
I made up my mind to stay
I?m gonna stand my ground
Stare my demons down, I ain?t leaving

I don?t know when it happened
But I turned a corner somewhere on the road
And on this side of those stubborn years
Somehow I'm not so broken any more
I pushed away what I shoulda held
Yeah, but sorrow taught me well

And I ain?t leaving any more
I?m not walking out that door
No more running away I made up my mind to stay
I?m gonna stand my ground
Stare my demons down, I ain?t leaving

There?s still a whisper in my ear
That I?m trying not to hear
Haunted voices from my past
Promises of greener grass
Speaking to me everyday
Fighting hard to have their way

But I ain?t leaving any more
I?m not walking out that door
No more running away
I made up my mind to stay

I wanna find out what it?s like
To live a different kind of life
To hang around and fight
For something I believe in

Understand I ain?t leaving
I ain?t leaving
Broken on the inside
That?s what I used to say
