That Don't Make You Gone

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
