Gauthier, Mary - I Ain't Leaving Lyrics
Broken on the inside, that's what I used to say
Then I'd pack my bags, raise a white flag and drive away
I thought that's what made me strong
Well, I was young, I was wrong
I'm not walking out that door
No more running away
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
I pushed away what I should'a 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
I ain't leaving
I ain't leaving
Broken on the inside
That's what I used to say

Gauthier, Mary I Ain't Leaving Comments
I love her work especially the song about her father, where she sees his frown in her face Me too. hard that is!
And you should never leave except for a very good reason.
Love it!
Love love love this song. Been there. Just beautiful
Travis Meadows is the songwriter. Which is to say that if Mary Gautier is doing his material, then he's a heavyweight. Mary is awesome whether doing her own songs or that of others :)
Cindy Robinson he's a heavyweight, no doubt.
I have just recently heard of this singer. I'm a big Travis Meadows fan and was surprised when i saw his name on this song.
Wow. It's a dandy. And Travis adds to it beautifully on the chorus.
Ferron led me here. In concert with my soul
This song is me. We all have to face our demons
This song is me. We all have to face our demons
I need the chords for this!
This song seems written for me
I just heard this song and it brought tears to my eyes as well...the woman below me Christine White.. brought me here
I just heard this song and it brought tears to my eyes. It's so powerful. It speaks so well to shutting down out of fear, pain or habit. From self & others. Thank you. I am posting this to my page to survivors of abuse and I know many will find it powerful. Hopeful too. Thank you.
WOW Mary.......
Our New Favorite Songwriter!!!!
...oh Mary, please come to our Open MIC....hee hee
"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 anymore." Thanks for the vision of hope, Mary. And all the beautiful songs.
A Brave Song
Funny how people will blast their rock and roll. I blast my Mary Gauthier!!
