I've been down that empty road, where love was just a lie
Gave my heart a thousand times, only to watch it die
Staring at a bottle, drowning all my sins
I've been there, and I ain't goin' back again

I've been there, and I ain't goin' back again
Felt the sting of heartbreak, buried in the rain
Left behind those shadows, found my light within
I've been there, and I ain't goin' back again

Fought through nights that seemed too long, broken and betrayed
Swallowed pride, held on tight, hoping for better days
But now I've found my freedom, learned to love this skin
I've been there, and I ain't goin' back again

I've been there, and I ain't goin' back again
Felt the sting of heartbreak, buried in the rain
Left behind those shadows, found my light within
I've been there, and I ain't goin' back again

I remember every tear, like it was yesterday
Promises were broken, all the love that slipped away
Now I know my worth, no more giving in
I've been there, and I ain't goin' back again

Now I'm standing tall and strong, scars upon my heart
Every line a story told, of how I fell apart
But I pieced together courage, found a way to mend
I've been there, and I ain't goin' back again

I've been there, and I ain't goin' back again
Felt the sting of heartbreak, buried in the rain
Left behind those shadows, found my light within
I've been there, and I ain't goin' back again
