Gary Allan - Forgotten, But Not Gone

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 hangin' 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
Her birthday came and went without a card

Well he's taken her for granted

Than to be forgotten but not gone

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
