She threw her purse upon the bed   She looked around and shook her head   There's really nothing left, she said   There's nothing I ain't done   She wore your favorite dress tonight   She hoped her hair would catch the light   And you just sat there gettin' tight   On double shots of rum      You don't care what people say   They're gonna say it anyway   You don't hear what you can't use   It's always been the same old news   You don't beg and you don't plead   Or miss a thing that you don't need   She knew by the way you kissed her   When she's gone, you won't miss her      Morning comes on an old cat's paws   And when the sun hits the walls   The light's as bright as it ever was   After or before   And you wince as waking pounds your head   And you drag your arm across the bed   And the tangled sheets and the twisted spread   Fall onto the floor      And the kitchen table finds you silent   If you had a thought, now you can't find it   You take a long drag on your smoke   And taste your coffee growing cold   She didn't beg and you didn't plead   She knew exactly how to leave   The way she knew when you kissed her   When she's gone, you won't miss her      She didn't beg and you didn't plead   She knew exactly when to leave   The way she knew as you kissed her   When she's gone, you won't miss her
