I Only Care About You When You’re Gone Lyrics by Leslie Hunt

Your Hair Is On Fire

2009

[Verse 1]
Not very known for being very punctual
All of my friends know better than to show up right on time
I wanna be what you wait for, what you wait for before going on with your night
You know you love it when I come staggering in with my long list of lies
[Chorus]
Before you know what has hit you, you’ll be sold
I only care about you when you’re gone
I don’t give a shit what you have going on
All eyes on me, that’s how it’s gonna be
I only care about you when you’re gone
[Verse 2]
And you have left me to do what I do best
All of my days are spent in the pursuit of avoidance
I wanna be what you picture, еven if you’re getting onе tenth of the truth
You know you love hearing my tell all of my well-thought-out salvagings of my youth
[Chorus]
Before you know what has hit you, you’ll be old
I only care about you when you’re gone
I don’t give a shit what you have going on
All eyes on me, that’s how it’s gonna be
I only care about you when you’re gone
[Bridge]
I’m not gonna make it
How long can I fake it
Natural selection
Ending my affliction
I’m not gonna make it in this cruel world (I’m not gonna make it)
I’ve been trying to fake it as long as I could (How long can I fake it)
Nature is weeding out this trait (Natural selection)
That I do nothing about (Ending my affliction)
You love anyway (I’m not gonna make it in this cruel world, I’ve been trying to fake it as long as I could)
You love anyway (Nature is weeding out this trait that I do nothing about)
[Chorus]
I never thought about where I went wrong
Now i don’t have a membership where I belong
All eyes on me, that's how it used to be
I only cared about you when you were gone
Now you’re gone
