The Girl's Already Gone

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

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

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

'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

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

'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
