When She's Gone

She threw her purse upon the bed
 She looked around and shook her head
 There's really nothing left she said
 There's nothing I ain't done
 She wore your favorite dress tonight
 She hoped her hair would catch the light
 And you just sat there getting tight
 On double shots of rum
 You don't care what people say
 They're gonna say it anyway
 You don't hear what you can't use
 It's always been the same old news
 You don't beg and you don't plead
 Or miss a thing that you don't need
 She knew by the way you kissed her
 When she's gone, you won't miss her
 Morning comes on an old cat's paws
 And when the sun hits the walls
 The light's as bright was it ever was
 After or before
 And you wince as waking pounds your head
 And you drag your arm across the bed
 And the tangled sheets and the twisted spread
 Fall onto the floor
 And the kitchen table finds you silent
 If you had a thought now you can't find it
 You take a long drag on your smoke
 And taste your coffee growing cold
 She didn't beg and you didn't plead
 She knew exactly how to leave
 The way she knew when you kissed her
 When she's gone you won't miss her
 She didn't beg and you didn't plead
 She knew exactly when to leave
 The way she knew as you kissed her
 When she's gone you won't miss her
