Lyrics
I AIN'T GOIN BACK THERE ANYMORE
INTRO: D G D A G D
MY HEART USED TO HOLD A THOUSAND DREAMS
NOW I DON'T KNOW WHAT ANY OF THEM MEAN
MY TEARS HAVE TURNED TO ICE MY HEART TO STONE
THE WAY I FEEL YOU DON'T EVER WANT TO KNOW
CHORUS
CAUSE I'VE BEEN RIPPED STRIPPED BROKEN BRUISED AND TORN
I'VE SEEN THINGS THAT I DON'T WANNA SEE NO MORE
I'VE BEEN ATTACKED TURNED BACK SLANDERED ACCUSED AND SCORNED
AND I AIN'T GOIN' BACK THERE ANYMORE
AS I WALK THROUGH THIS VALLEY OF DEATH I KNOW
I CAN'T TAKE IT WITH ME WHEN I GO
THE YEARS HAVE LEFT THEIR MARK THE ROAD IT'S TOLL
THERE'S NOTHIN' LEFT WORTH SAVIN' BUT MY SOUL
CHORUS
CAUSE I'VE BEEN SHUT OUT CUT OUT AND WASTED TO THE CORE
LEFT FOR DEAD AND THROWN OUT IN THE STORM
I'M TRADIN' THE OTHER SIDE FOR THAT CROWN OF THORNS
AND I'M NOT GOIN' BACK THERE ANYMORE
LEAD/ SAME AS INTRO/VERSE/CHORUS/END
