The Girl’s Already Gone

[Verse 1]
I'm pleading
I thought she had what she needed
Thought her wild years were buried deep and
I tried to believer her
But on her way out
Said she'd be back in a couple hours
Left a smoke on the kitchen counter
Now I'm living without her

[Chorus]
'Cause everybody knows
That the girl won't last forever
She comes and goes
But the girl's already gone

[Verse 2]
I just smoked and drove through town
Checked all our favorite bars like a lost-and-found
But she wasn't around
Now I remember at night how she'd pull away
Left me a little more defeated every day
In the dark I'm praying

[Chorus]
'Cause everybody knows
That the girl won't last forever
She comes and goes but she never tells
Sinking like a penny in a wishing well
But everybody knows
That the girl's already gone

[Bridge]
Sometimes I hear voice out on the stairs
Like an angel's ghost she's not there
Her leather jacket's still draped over the chair
And her makeup's scattered everywhere

[Chorus]
'Cause everybody knows
That the girl won't last forever
She comes and goes but she never tells
Sinking like a penny in a wishing well
But everybody knows
That the girl's already gone
The girl's already gone
The girl's already gone
The girl's already gone
