Drive-By Truckers - When He's Gone lyrics
[Drive-By Truckers - When He's Gone lyrics]
She sit's alone and stares out the window
The thoughts pour out
The morning sun pours in
She paints a smile on her lips
And looks at herself in the
Mirror as her day begins
She scrubs in basins never clean
It won't wash off the smell of compromise
He opens the door for her
There's kindness in his smile
But she loathes the need in his eyes
She can't stand to have him around
But she always misses him when he's gone
She burns like an effigy, when he's gone
It makes her mad how attached she's become
And if it were up to me, I'd prove her wrong
But, it's too bad it's someone else's song
He might come home after she's sleeping
And quietly admire the smile on her lips
He crawls up beside her, she presses it
All up against him, and dreams
The thoughts pour out
The morning sun pours in
She paints a smile on her lips
And looks at herself in the
Mirror as her day begins
She scrubs in basins never clean
It won't wash off the smell of compromise
He opens the door for her
There's kindness in his smile
But she loathes the need in his eyes
She can't stand to have him around
But she always misses him when he's gone
She burns like an effigy, when he's gone
It makes her mad how attached she's become
And if it were up to me, I'd prove her wrong
But, it's too bad it's someone else's song
He might come home after she's sleeping
And quietly admire the smile on her lips
He crawls up beside her, she presses it
All up against him, and dreams
