When you're gone
I won't shed a tear
They'll tell me to be brave
As I stand dry-eyed
by your grave
When you're gone
I'll have nothing to say
They'll ask me to speak
When I decline, they'll think
I'm consumed by grief
When you're gone
I won't feel any pain
My spirit will stay whole
For the sting of betrayal
has numbed my soul
When you're gone
I won't mourn you
We've long drifted apart
You broke my trust
and also my heart
When you're gone
I'll feel happy
I'll ask myself why
and that'll make me sad
Perhaps, then, I will cry
