I don’t wanna think about you when you’re gone
I don’t wanna hear your voice talk on the phone
All those notes and all those cards, I’m gonna throw them in the yard
I’m gonna 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
Throw away your letters and rip up all your sweaters
You can’t haunt me, you can’t taunt me when you’re gone, ah yeah
Accentuate the positive, that’s what the people say
Talk it up, don’t let it get you down
But there’s so many negatives that pass along the way
Throw them in the river, let ‘em drown, bury 'em in the ground, yeah
I don’t want to read about you when you’re gone
I don’t wanna hear about the things you’ve done
I put a filter in my brain, I wanna cut out all that pain
I don't wanna hear about you when you’re gone
Don’t wanna hear those melodies, they're like a touch of leprosy
I've grown to hate our favorite song
If I hear it on the radio, I grab the damn remote control
You can’t haunt me, you can’t taunt me when you’re gone
When you’re gone, all right
