Glance at that silver frame
No one's gonna make me
Back there
I ain't ever goin'
She said, "Maybe your life's gone to hell
Back there again
I'm runnin' away so she don't have to see
You throw in the towel, they call you a coward
I ain't ever goin'
She'll cry out with pain, maybe whisper my name
I ain't ever goin'
No one's gonna make me
Back there again
Back there again
Nothing's gonna take me
Maybe that's how you survive
Don't come around here no more
She didn't believe the words I said
She'll put on her makeup and drink from her tea cup
I ain't ever goin'
God, I'm such a mess
What we could have and should have become
Well, I ain't no hero, but the truth is I know
See, I took our picture and then it'll hit her
Tell you, “Fight, don't cut and run”
Sheets are tanglin', little arm is janglin'
It's the bravest thing I've ever done
Nothing's gonna take me
I ain't ever goin'
I ain't ever goin'
Now, don't blame her mama for makin' me promise
A life in slow motion suicide
I ain't ever goin'
I ain't ever goin'
When you can't save yourself you save somebody else
I ain't ever goin'
The hardest part is knowing
The look of her body as she slipped out that dress
But that's a tour of duty she didn't sign up for"
I ain't ever goin'
I ain't ever goin'
The last dream from her pretty head, I told her I was leavin'
Never a mornin' person but that girl's still in bed
