Broken on the inside, thats what I used to say
Then Id pack my bags, raise a white flag, drive away
I thought thats what made me strong
But I was young, I was wrong
And I aint leaving any more
Im not walking out that door
No more running away
I made up my mind to stay
Im gonna stand my ground
Stare my demons down, I aint leaving
I dont 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 aint leaving any more
Im not walking out that door
No more running away
I made up my mind to stay
Im gonna stand my ground
Stare my demons down, I aint leaving
Theres still a whisper in my ear
That Im 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 aint leaving any more
Im not walking out that door
No more running away
I made up my mind to stay
I wanna find out what its like
To live a different kind of life
To hang around and fight
For something I believe in
Understand I aint leaving
I aint leaving
Broken on the inside
Thats what I used to say
