When She's Gone Lyrics - Mary Chapin Carpenter

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 her 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 do it anyway 

You don't hear what you don'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 paw 

And when the sun hits the wall 

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 draw on your smoke 

And taste your coffee growing cold 

She didn't beg and she 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 

Photos 

She didn't beg and she didn't plead 

She knew exactly when to leave 

They way she knew as you kissed her 

When she's gone you won't miss her
