You're Not Here ❤️

A twist on the crying because you left me song. I kinda like this one.
Lyrics
I have nothing left to live for Now that you are gone I might as well open another beer I've been searching the whole world over For some place I belong Now that you're no longer
You're not here to tell me what I did wrong All throughout the day You're not here from dusk until the dawn To correct everything I say You're not here to blame me for what went wrong In your whole damn life You're not here to be my ex-wife
On second thought, I'm doing alright I guess I'm getting by Now that you've left me all alone And I dont' have to hear your voice Or have to hear you cry Now that I've blocked you on your phone
You're not here to tell me what I did wrong All throughout the day You're not here from dusk until the dawn To correct everything I say You're not here to blame me for what went wrong In your whole damn life You're not here to be my ex-wife
I admit I was missing you For the first hour or two But since you left, I'm living my best Now that we are through
You're not here to tell me what I did wrong All throughout the day You're not here from dusk until the dawn To correct everything I say You're not here to blame me for what went wrong In your whole damn life You're not here to be my ex-wife

LOL. I feel dumb. I was reading some of the other comments and then think maybe I misunderstood the lyric. I was kind of reading this like the narrator/author was recently divorced and enjoying life as a single guy.
Did I miss the train super hard?🤣

This made me chuckle. What a clever lyric. He's lost his purpose in life having lost his ability to fight with his ex. He seems to enjoy listing all the things he hates about how she treated him. Ha ha ha! It sounds like he'll get over her, though. 😀 An entertaining and thoroughly enjoyable song. I love it!

Yeah, nice one! Now I gotta go write some more, obviously!! 😀

The energy here is so correct. I like songs that turn a trope on its ear, especially when it comes to relationships. Your guitar and vocal are fully on the same page in terms of intensity, which makes the lyrics really pop. I dig it.

What a cool reversal of expectation! Love the presentation - vocal sounds great and the guitar is spot on. The "I admit I was missing you..." part (would that be a bridge?) is just perfect - really nice writing that cuts straight to the chase!

This was a fun twist, even after expecting one from the liner notes. Love me a happy breakup song. Vocal melody is catchy, especially with that hook “you’re not here to be my ex-wife”
