Song 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
