Lyrics

Glad You’re Gone

Walking the streets when there’s nobody home
Thinkin’ about all that is lost or missed
Makin’ up wars where they never exist
If you believe in the lies then you’re easily dismissed

It’s nice to be considered the chosen one
Loved for the life and the things we’ve done
But time reveals the wounds that are easily hid
And ends the love before it’s begun

I know the sound of a slamming door
I can feel the footsteps that don’t touch the floor.
Well, there’s you and there’s me
And one of us is glad to be free
And the other is just glad you’re gone

I can see a sun before it goes down
I can feel the wounds before the light hits the ground
Well, there’s you and there’s me
And one of us is glad to be free
And the other is just glad you’re gone

Hold your head high as you look to the sky
Stare at the clouds rolling in
Playin’ a role takes a terrible toll
Laugh while the rain soaks your skin
That you can’t shed for somebody new
That you can’t shed for somebody new
That you can’t shed for somebody new

I know the sound of a slamming door
I can feel the footsteps that don’t touch the floor.
Well, there’s you and there’s me
And one of us is glad to be free
And the other is just glad you’re gone

I can see a sun before it goes down
I can feel the wounds before the light hits the ground
Well, there’s you and there’s me
And one of us is glad to be free
And the other is just glad you’re gone
