That Don't Make You Gone
I hardly recognize this room, it don't smell like your perfume
That don't mean that you ain't still lying next to me
There's no pictures in these frames, I cut em up and threw them away
But I still see as clear as day, (Asus) the way we used to be
Before you got some burdens off your chest
Before you looked at me and said there's nothing left of us
And tore outta here like a bat out of hell
With the wish we never met, but I wish you well
The writing on the wall might spell goodbye
I ain't heard a word in a week and a half
I guess you're not comin' back
You can disappear into thin air all you want
But that don't make you gone
Went to church a couple Sundays back,
Preacher said a prayer on my behalf
I'm tryin to get my life on track, give or take a mistake or two
Billy thought I could use a drink, maybe, numb a little pain
For a night I forgot your name, hell I forgot mine too
I know that's a dead-end street
But these days I'll try any thing and everything
Takin Shelly for a ride come Saturday night
I might do something she might like
A little dance in the headlights or something
But what happens when what happens next
Happens and I ain't ready yet
I can try to forget you all I want
But that don't make you gone
Right now you're halfway to somewhere
I'm sure the grass is greener there
You could turn your back on forever
But I know better than to ever say never yeah
Someday you might change your mind
If there's still love, there's still time
You can say we're over all you want
But that don't make you gone, that don't make you gone
That don't make you gone
