Lyric Forgotten, But Not Gone

(Johnny Macrae/Buzz Carson)

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
