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
