From the recording AIN'T COMING BACK
Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You made me cry; you told me nothing but lies,
Treated me like a low-down heel, oh, what a surprise.
Thought we had something real, but you broke that vow,
Now I'm moving on, got no time for you now.
Every morning I wake, your picture on the wall,
I look at it and smile, but it feels so small.
That photo stares back, gives me a big frown,
Reminding me of the love that let me down.
[Chorus]
I ain't coming back, no, I ain't coming back,
Oh, I ain't coming back to you.
You played your game, now I'm off the track,
Your promises faded, oh, the truth is so cruel.
I ain't coming back, no, I ain't coming back,
I've put my heart in a better place,
Every tear I've shed feels like a heart attack,
You lost your chance, there's no saving face.
[Verse 2]
The night used to shine, now it’s filled with blues,
You left me in the dark, now I’ve got better views.
Thought you were the one, thought you'd never stray,
But now I'm counting blessings, chasing the gray away.
Used to think of forever, now I just move on,
A brand-new day waiting, the night has withdrawn.
Lost in your deception, I found my own way,
Still hear your voice, but I ain't gonna stay.
[Chorus]
I ain't coming back, no, I ain't coming back,
Oh, I ain't coming back to you.
You played your game, now I'm off the track,
Your promises faded, oh, the truth is so cruel.
I ain't coming back, no, I ain't coming back,
I've put my heart in a better place,
Every tear I've shed feels like a heart attack,
You lost your chance, there's no saving face.
[Bridge]
You used me like a tool, now I feel like a fool,
I wanted to love you, thought we’d break all the rules.
But you turned cold, babe, left me in the rain,
Now I look forward, can't afford the pain.
Why did you make me feel this way?
I wanted to love you, but you led me astray.
Now I ain't coming back to face your game,
You wrote the story, but I’m changing the name.
[Chorus]
I ain't coming back, no, I ain't coming back,
Oh, I ain't coming back to you.
You played your game, now I'm off the track,
Your promises faded, oh, the truth is so cruel.
I ain't coming back, no, I ain't coming back,
I've put my heart in a better place,
Every tear I've shed feels like a heart attack,
You lost your chance, there's no saving face.
[Outro]
So here’s my goodbye, as I step out the door,
You wrote the ending; I won’t be part of your war.
I'm building my life, and I'll find my own truth,
I ain’t coming back, oh babe, that's the proof.
