Lyrics
This Ain't Gonna Kill Me
Marti Lynn Dodson/Jim Bennett © 4/26/11
Verse:
You could say it's been a long year
There were moments in the middle
I was broken and I almost disappeared.
But I'm still here.
You keep changing like the weather
One day you're here and then you're gone
Leave me nothing to hold on to but a prayer.
Pre:
What I thought I knew about us turned to embers
Now that I'm standing in the ashes I remember
Chorus:
This ain't gonna kill me
I'll survive this broken heart
And I will still be
Who I am with battle scars
Cause I believe
I'm not gonna fall apart
When I think I can't hold on much longer.
Those are the just the days that make me stronger
And this ain't gonna kill me.
Verse:
I know nothing lasts forever
Every moment, good and bad
Just the same, they're gonna pass, and I'll get through
I'll get through.
I could crack under the pressure
Oh, or I could let it take me, let it shape me
Into something that's brand new
Pre:
When you're breaking down, you find out who you are
Cause when it's darkest out, that's when you see the stars
Chorus:
This ain't gonna kill me
I'll survive this broken heart
And I will still be
Who I am with battle scars
Cause I believe
I'm not gonna fall apart
When I think I can't hold on much longer.
Those are the just the days that make me stronger
And this ain't gonna kill me.
