When You're Gone

I don't want to think about you when you're gone

I don't want to hear your voice talk on the phone

All those notes and all those cards, I'm going to throw them in the yard

I'm going to put them in the trash where they belong

I just want a clean slate, I think I will redecorate

Slap some fresh new colors on the walls

I'll throw away your letters and rip up all your sweaters

You can't haunt me, you can't taunt me when you're gone, ah yeah

Accentuate the positive, that's what the people say

Talk it up, don't let it get you down

But there's so many negatives that pass along the way

Throw them in the river, let 'em drown

Bury them in the ground, yeah

I don't want to read about you when you're gone

I don't want to hear about the things you've done

I put a filter in my brain, I want to cut out all that pain

I don't want to hear about you when you're gone

Don't want to hear those melodies, they're like a touch of leprosy

I've grown to hate our favorite song

If I hear it on the radio, I grab the damn remote control

You can't haunt me, you can't taunt me when you're gone, ah

When you're gone

Alright
