Consider Me Gone
Reba McEntire
Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
Every time I turn the conversation to something deeper Than the weather I can feel you all but shuttin' down. And when I need an explanation for the silence you Just tell me you don't wanna talk about it now. What you're not saying is coming in loud And clear we're at a crossroads here If I'm not the one thing you can't stand to lose If I'm not that arrow to the heart of you If you don't get drunk on my kiss If you think you can do better than this then I guess we're done Let's not drag this on Consider me gone With you I've always been wide open like a window or an ocean. There is nothing I've ever tried to hide. So when you leave me not knowin' where you're goin' I start thinkin' that we're lookin' we're lookin' at goodbye. How about a strong shot of honesty Don't you owe that to me If I'm not the one thing you can't stand to lose If I'm not that arrow to the heart of you If you don't get drunk on my kiss If you think you can do better than this then I guess we're done Let's not drag this on Consider me gone. Consider me a memory. Consider me the past. Consider me a smile in an old photograph Someone who used to make you laugh. If I'm not the one thing you can't stand to lose If I'm not that arrow to the heart of you Then I guess we're done let's not drag this on. Consider me gone. Consider me gone. Consider me gone. Just consider me gone.
