I Went Back Video (MV)

His favorite game was to dare me to leave
But I was too scared to let go
He had the nerve to threaten me
Then say call the cops tell them I'm a psycho
But I ran out the door
With no coat or a phone
Or a pair of shoes in the ice-cold snow
I took off in the little black car
With the busted back window
I drove around for hours on end
Telling myself don't you do it again but
I couldn't help it he was in my head
So I went back
I always did
I don't know why
I tolerated it
I thought he'd change
But he never did
I don't know why
I tolerated it
I put my faith in whatever he said
No matter how bad the pain
With every insult or crude remark
With every pointless fight and with every scar
Then a few years in
I was home all alone
Telling the mirror girl you gotta go
I packed a bag got myself out of town
To a place he wouldn't know
But I'd lie awake staring up at the ceiling
Praying to God to get rid of this feeling
I couldn't help it he was in my head
So I went back
I always did
I don't know why
I tolerated it
I thought he'd change
But he never did
I don't know why
I tolerated it
Ohhh
Ohhh
I got out
I finally did
I needed time
To stop defending him
I won't go back
Like I always did
And now I won't
Tolerate it
And now I won't
Tolerate it
And now I won't
Tolerate it
