You're Already Gone
verse 1-
we need to quit these games we're playin
when its my heat that's breaking
no i just cant take this
keep sayin you're gonna leave
well honey it ain't no news to me
cuz
chorus-
you're already gone
have been for so long
we gotta stop carrying on
hey your heart just ain't in it
no matter which way you spin it
so do me a favor
and let me sign that paper
you can have everything in this house
no need to think twice
we both know whats right
its ok, i'm done
cuz you're already gone
verse 2-
we don't need to split everything up
take the keys
go on take my truck
all i'm asking for
is my heart
before you walk out that door
there ain't no way around it
there ain't no love left in your eyes
and i don't need another fight
oh
chorus-
you're already gone
have been for so long
we gotta stop carrying on
hey your heart just ain't in it
no matter which way you spin it
so do me a favor
and let me sign that paper
you can have everything in this house
no need to think twice
we both know whats right
its ok, i'm done
cuz you're already gone
verse 3-
i wont deny that its killin me
but honey go and spread your wings
if you need to be free
oh
chorus-
you're already gone
have been for so long
we gotta stop carrying on
hey your heart just ain't in it
no matter which way you spin it
so do me a favor
and let me sign that paper
you can have everything in this house
no need to think twice

The first thing I note, even scanning this, is how country it is. It's about divorce, and it's not very complex, just a simple broken-down relationship. That could be good, but there's no tenseness in this. They don't like each other, and it doesn't seem hard for one to get rid of the other. There's no drama, basically, and drama makes things interesting.
It better have a good hook if it were to survive as a song.

I like it. I'd like to hear it to music. As for it lacking drama, I think it leaves it open for more people to be able to relate it to their own lives. I like it when I can relate every word to what is going on in my life. I don't like it when I have to ignore parts that don't relate. But that is me and the way I am. I can relate to this. Every word.
