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 'til 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'd ever hear me say

But since you've been gone
I can breathe for the first time
I'm so movin' 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'd never hear you say
I just wanna be with you
Guess you never felt that way

But since you've been gone
I can breathe for the first time
I'm so movin' on, 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 (since you've been gone)
I can breathe for the first time
I'm so movin' on, yeah yeah
Thanks to you (thanks to you)
Now I get, I get what I want
I can breathe for the first time
I'm so movin' on, yeah yeah
Thanks to you (thanks to you)
Now I get (I get)
You should know (you should know) that I get
I get what I want

Since you've been gone
Since you've been gone
Since you've been gone
