I Ain't Leaving

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

I ain't leaving anymore, I'm not walking out that door
No more running away, I've made up my mind to stay
I'm going to stand my ground, stare my demons down
I ain't leaving

Don't know when it happened, but I turned the corner somewhere down the road
This side of those stubborn years, somehow I ain't so broken anymore
I pushed away what I should have held, yeah but the sorrow taught me well

(Chorus)

There's still a whisper in my ear, that I'm trying not to hear
Promises of greener grass, haunted voices from my past
Speaking to me every day, fighting hard to have their way

Yeah but I'm not leaving anymore, I'm not walking out that door
No more running away, well I've made up my mind to stay
Gonna find out what it's like, to live another kind of life
Hang around and fight, for something I believe in
No this time I ain't leaving
I ain't leaving

Broken on the inside, that's what I used to say
