I Ain’t Gonna

Used to be when you’d walk out on me
I’d just come apart at the seams
For every time you’d kissed me I’d drink a shot of whiskey
I’d cry and cry and cry wishin’ you were with me, but

I ain’t gonna fall apart this time
I might lose a little sleep but I ain’t gonna lose my mind
Gonna handle the heartache better/Gonna keep myself together
I ain’t gonna fall apart this time

Lately I just go out for a run
And workin’ in the garden’s always fun
To keep from getting’ caught up in that silly heartbreak hoo-hah
I hang out with the great ongoing Cosmic doo-dah

I ain’t gonna fall apart this time
I might lose a little sleep but I ain’t gonna lose my mind
Gonna handle the heartache better/Gonna keep myself together
I ain’t gonna fall apart this time
