When You Don't Want Me Lyrics - Nina Gordon

This is not a dream, I am not asleep 

This is not a game I'm playing 

Somewhere in between what's real and how it seems 

I'm myself forgetting to speak 

And it's good to be alone, and it's good to see what I've become 

When you don't want me anymore 

Everybody knows how the story goes 

Summer fades away and you're leaving 

Welcome to the world of your former favorite girl 

September comes and washes her away 

And it's good to be alone, and it's good to see what I've become 

When you don't want me anymore 

When you don't want me anymore 

Love dies, everyone lies, you did your best and so did I 

But everybody has to give up sometime 

Young gods, alien gods, star by star we all must fall, yeah 

Everybody has to burn up sometime 

Young gods, alien gods, star by star we all must fall, yeah 

Everybody has to burn up sometime 

And it's good to be alone, and it's good to see what I've become 

And it's good to be alone, and it's good to see what I've become 

When you don't want me anymore 

When you don't want me anymore 

And you don't want me
