I'm Not Leaving Lyrics

Another cigarette, whatever I can get
Everything I had I left behind
Pictures of the past
Things that never last
But satisfaction is... oh it's state of mind

Somehow, someway
With nothin' left to lose
The past has got me searching for someone like you

Put another candle in the wind
It's just another thing that I can't fix
Play another game that I can't win
But I'm not leaving it like this
Maybe I should find a common ground
Scratch another problem off my list
Go ahead and kick me when I'm down
But I'm not leaving it like this

Make another note
Letters that I wrote
I guess you should've known that I'd let you down

I heard it all before
I been through every door
But don't you be so quick
To count me out

You tried to knock me down
You kicked me in my head
You got me on the ground
But I'm not finished yet

Put another candle in the wind
It's just another thing that I can't fix
Play another game that I can't win
But I'm not leaving it like this
Maybe I should find a common ground
Scratch another problem off my list
Go ahead and kick me when I'm down
But I'm not leaving it like this

You try to let me down
You kick me in my head
You got me on the ground
But I'm not finished yet

Put another candle in the wind
It's just another thing that I can't fix
Play another game that I can't win
But I'm not leaving it like this
Maybe I should find a common ground
Scratch another problem off my list
Go ahead and kick me when I'm down
But I'm not leaving it like this

Put another candle in the wind
It's just another thing that I can't fix
Play another game that I can't win
But I'm not leaving it like this
Maybe I should find a common ground
Scratch another problem off my list
Go ahead and kick me when I'm down
But I'm not leaving it like this

Cover art for I'm Not Leaving lyrics by Uncle Kracker

This song is about a guy getting over his past relationships. He doesn\'t want to leave the whole situation just like that. He can\'t move on, he doesn\'t want to leave it like this.. he want\'s some sort of closure or he want\'s to get back with the relationship and just if it hurts it\'s meant to be like that, that\'s just part of life. You\'ll have ups and downs and you have to decide if you want to carry on with that person. \n\nWhen he talks about a cigarette.. he\'s really talking about another relationship or person. The candle reference is about another person that he can\'t fix, so he\'s gotta push through and move on away from that.
