I Ain't Leaving Lyrics - Mary Gauthier

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
