I dont want to think about you when youre gone
I dont want to hear your voice talk on the phone
All those notes and all those cards
Im going to throw them in the yard
Im going to put them in the trash where they belong
I just want a clean slate, I think I will redecorate
Slap some fresh new colors on the walls
Ill throw away your letters and rip up all your sweaters
You cant haunt me, you cant taunt me when youre gone, ah yeah
Accentuate the positive, thats what the people say
Talk it up, dont let it get you down
But theres so many negatives that pass along the way
Throw them in the river, let em drown
Bury them in the ground, yeah
I dont want to read about you when youre gone
I dont want to hear about the things youve done
I put a filter in my brain, I want to cut out all that pain
I dont want to hear about you when youre gone
Dont want to hear those melodies, theyre like a touch of leprosy
Ive grown to hate our favourite song
If I hear it on the radio, I grab the damn remote control
You cant haunt me, you cant taunt me when youre gone, aah
When youre gone all right
