She's Gone Lyrics

A blackened wick is what remains
The flame was blown out, just recently
Although the candle hadn't burned down to the stick
It won't be lit again, the day won't be so bright

We don't know what she may have been
All we know is what she left behind
An apartment cluttered with children's toys,
Photos of good times

In the bedroom, there's sheets on the window
There's a four poster bed for a reason
There's a box on the floor full of secrets
It won't be opened

Here older boys and girls would play
All inhibitions were left behind
As the door would close, her face began to shine
This was her finest hour, this was her finest time

She's gone, and it's not gonna be allright, not for me
She's gone, and it's not gonna be allright, not for me

She's gone, but not forgotten, she's still here
In all those years she touched so many lives
Who's gonna watch the little girl she left behind?

Carol Ann stands alone in the schoolyard
All the other children have gone,
After waitin' for hours she can't understand,
Why her mother left her sad

In the darkness she sees definition,
In the silence she hears someone callin'
After nightmares, she lies in bed screamin'
But there's no reaction,
There's no one listenin', there's no one

Nows he's gone, and it's not gonna be allright, not for me
She's gone, and it's not gonna be allright, not for me
She's gone, and it's not gonna be allright, not for me
She's gone, and it's not gonna be allright, not for me
She's gone
