Ben Folds' fourth track on Rockin' the Suburbs tells of a love between him and his wife that vanished, because she left him. Folds addresses his positions on it, saying that his love for her is gone, so he’s fine.
[Verse 1]
I thought I'd write; I thought I'd let you know
In the year since you've been gone, I've finally let you go
And I hope you find some time to drop a note
[Pre-Chorus]
But if you won't
Then you won't
[Chorus]
And I will consider you gone
[Verse 2]
I know that you went straight to someone else
While I worked through all this shit here by myself
And I think that you should spend some time alone
[Pre-Chorus]
But if you won't
Then you won't
[Chorus]
And I will
Then I will consider you gone
[Bridge]
I wake up in the night
All alone, and it's alright
The chemicals are wearing off
Since you've gone
[Verse 3]
The days go on; the lights go off and on
And nothing really matters when you're gone
If you think that you feel nothing at all
[Pre-Chorus]
If you don't (If you don't)
Then you don't (No, you won't)
If you won't
Then you won't
[Chorus]
And I will
Then I will
Yeah, I will consider you gone
