I Ain't Gonna Take It Anymore
Faith Hill · Fireflies [2005]
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
