NOFX - She’s Gone lyrics

A blackened wick is what remains
The flame was blown out just recently
Although the candle hadn't burned
Down to the stick it won't be lit again
The day won't be quite as bright

We don't know what she may have been
All we know is what she left behind
An apartment cluttered with children's toys
Photos of good times
In the bedroom, there's sheets on the windows
There's a four poster bed for a reason
There's a box on the floor full of secrets
It won't be opened
Here older boys and girls would play
All inhibitions were left behind
As the door would close
Her face began to shine
This was her finest hour
This was her finest time

Now, she's gone, and it's
Not gonna be alright, not for me

She's gone, but not forgotten
She's still here
In all those years she touched so many lives
Who's gonna watch the little
Girl she left behind?

Carol Anne stands alone in the school yard
All the other children have gone
After waiting for hours
She can't understand why her
Mother left her sad

In the darkness she sees definition
In the silence, she hears someone calling
After nightmares, she lies in bed screaming
But there's no reaction
There's no one listening, there's no one

Now, she's gone, and it's
Never gonna be alright, not for me
She's gone
