Telling a story backwards
Leaving it all on display
Now I'm a man with nothing
Trying to run away
I said I'd be back in the morning
No reason to be afraid
Never said where I was going
You knew I wasn't here to stay

I ain't never gonna walk away
I ain't never gonna walk away from that day

You were just a midnight dancer
Found you asking for a raise
Leaving out the grotesque answer
I couldn't stand another day
Now let's take the story forward
who is gonna take the blame
I heard what everybody called you
But I never even knew your name

I ain't never gonna walk away
I ain't never gonna walk away from that day
