Going Nowhere

Verse 1

You came to me out of darkness

I tried to show you the light

You showed me all the things gone wrong

I tried to make them right

But no matter what I did

You slipped through my hands

The task was too great

With too many demands

I let you go

Now I know…

Chorus

I’m going nowhere without you

Try as I might to leave you behind

I’m going nowhere without you

Nothing can break the ties that bind

Verse 2

You pushed me away out of anger

Pulled me back in out of fear

The very words I used to sooth you

Were the ones you could never hear

One moment, I was your greatest ally

Your most trusted friend

The next I was looking for the exit

And praying for the end

Repeat chorus

Bridge

With your tongue as sharp as a razor

And my eyes too blind to see

The abused become the abuser

This time the sacrifice was me

You’re a scar that never heals

You’re a scar that never heals

You’re a scar that never heals

You’re a scar that never heals

Verse 3

I will never claim to be a victim

I pushed you just as hard

I will never claim to be the only one

Your heart was just as scarred

In the end, you’re still a part of me

We’re still on the same page

There’s enough understanding

To quell the bitterness and rage

Repeat Chorus

I’m going nowhere without you

Even though I thought I’d lose my mind

I know now the most tragic love

Can be the most enlightening kind
