Testo Staying Gone

Everytime she walked out She just ran back He was a smooth talker from day one Always vowing how he'd get his life back on track And buying time with presents for their son Everytime she washed his clothes She made her plan He'd raise a hand against her if he knew One night he went for bread She went for broke She had her mother waiting Hiding out of view She took only the boy And the clothes they had on Praying she find a way Of staying gone She's staying gone She's never going back The chain around her heart Has finally broken And it takes a lot of courage To start a life anew But the bravest thing she'll ever do Is staying gone Everytime he called her up She caught her breath And listened to him twisting up her mind She knew she had to save what was there left So she put her finger down, cut off the line She took the road out of town So she'll never be found When old memories beg her to come back around She's staying gone She's never going back The chain around her heart Has finally broken And it takes a lot of courage To start a life anew But the bravest thing she'll ever do Is staying gone She's staying gone
