Gary Allan - Forgotten, But Not Gone lyrics

Her birthday came and went without a card or a single "I love you"

On their anniversary she sat all alone at a table set for two

She tries her best to please him, but she never hears one single word of praise

She feels just like a stranger in a home where love has seen its better days

Well, he's taken her for granted

God only knows why she keeps hanging on

'Cause it's better to be gone, but not forgotten

Than to be forgotten, but not gone

Somehow he can't remember, when he's late to even take the time to call

And even on the nights he's there she gets the feeling he's not there at all

She's become a prisoner in that big old house where sweet love used to be

Well, it's not even over, but Lord, she feels just like a memory

Well, he's taken her for granted

God only knows why she keeps hangin' on

'Cause it's better to be gone, but not forgotten

Than to be forgotten, but not gone

'Cause it's better to be gone, but not forgotten

Gone, but not forgotten

Than to be forgotten, but not gone
