Brandy Clark - Since You've Gone To Heaven lyrics

Since you've gone to Heaven I don't like coming home But I can't stand the thought of mom in that big house alone She can't keep it up, she really ought to sell Oh that house without you in it is nothing but a shell Since you've gone to Heaven, the whole world's gone to Hell Everybody says that Billy is looking more and more like you But he won't talk about you until he's had a few He dropped out of college, he's in and out of jail Had to pawn your pocket watch last month to post his bail Since you've gone to Heaven, the whole world's gone to Hell And I hate you had to leave us, but glad you didn't live to see this The broken pieces of the family you made Mama's looking so much older, baby brother can't stay sober I bet you're rolling over in your grave Since you've gone to Heaven, they shut the sawmill down Guys you worked for thirty years with have all moved out of town There's signs in every store front, seems like everything's for sale They say the market's bouncing back, but it's sure hard to tell Since you've gone to Heaven, the whole world's gone to Hell And I hate you had to leave us, but glad you didn't live to see this The broken pieces of the family you made Mama's looking so much older, baby brother can't stay sober I bet you're rolling over in your grave Since you've gone to Heaven, I've struggled with goodbye And broke a lot of promises I made the day you died Wish I was more like you, less like myself And I wish that I could talk to you cause I could use your help Since you've gone to Heaven the whole world's gone to Hell
