This Time She's Gone

This time she says that she's leaving for good You hope she doesn't but she knows she should She doesn't listen to father or mother She needs a friend not a once a week lover

She called me last night from an old telephone & said this time she's gone She told me that this time she's gone She told me that this time she's gone

She packed up her clothes & she took off this morning She didn't leave you a card or the warning She said she's tired of sitting & waiting She needs a friend not some guy that she's dating

She called me last night from an old telephone & said this time she's gone She told me that this time she's gone She told me that this time she's gone

You should be happy now you don't have to plan past tomorrow Instead you're left crying alone in a room full of sorrow It could've been different but you wouldn't listen no

This time you think you can write her a letter Just like before you'll make it all better But she won't return your calls or your glances She's tired of waiting & taking her chances

She called me last week from an old telephone & said this time she's gone She told me that this time she's gone She told me that this time she's gone She told me that You never believed she would actually do it But how the hell could you ever get through it This time she's gone

This time she says that she's leaving for good You hope she doesn't but she knows she should
