I Ain't Gonna Take It Anymore

Faith Hill · Fireflies [2005]

You've worn the soles off both your shoes

Walkin' on me like ya do

This ain't what forever's for

And I ain't gonna take it

I ain't gonna take it anymore



I've cried and begged and cursed and prayed

But nothing's worked and nothing's changed

No way I win when you keep score

And I ain't gonna take it

I ain't gonna take it anymore



Chorus:

I'm gonna crawl out from this stone that I've been under

To see the light and breathe the air

And you'll have a million reasons why I shouldn't leave you

But for the first time in a long time

I don't care



I guess on one hand you should laugh

Cuz' I said the same things in the past

But this time one hand's on the door

And I ain't gonna take it

I ain't gonna take it anymore



(Chorus)



Now I can't help but think of you

Lookin' back in my rear view

But I've been down that road before

And I ain't gonna take it

I ain't gonna take it, anymore

Oh, I ain't gonna take it

I aint gonna take it, anymore

I Ain't Gonna Take It Anymore
