Here's the thing We started out friends It was cool but it was all pretend Yeah, yeah, since you've been gone You're dedicated You took the time Wasn't long till I called you mine Yeah, yeah, since you've been gone And all you'd ever hear me say Is how I picture me with you That's all you ever hear me say But since you've been gone I can breathe for the first time I'm so moving on, yeah yeah, thanks to you Now I get what I want, since you've been gone How can I put it? You put me on I even fell for that stupid love song Yeah yeah, since you've been gone How come I never hear you say I just wanna be with you why I guess you never felt that way But since you've been gone I can breathe for the first time I'm so moving on, oh, yeah, yeah, thanks to you Now I get, I get what I want (Since you've been gone) You had your chance, you blew it Out of sight, out of mind Shut your mouth, I just can't take it Again and again and again and again Since you've been gone.
