[Verse 1]
Here's the thing, we started out friends
It was cool, but it was all pretend
Yeah, yeah, since you been gone
You dedicated, you took the time
Wasn't long till I called you mine
Yeah, yeah, since you been gone
[Pre-Chorus 1]
And all you'd ever hear me say
Is how I pictured me with you
That's all you'd ever hear me say
[Chorus]
But since you 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 been gone
[Verse 2]
How can I put it? You put me on
I even fell for that stupid love song
Yeah, yeah, since you been gone
[Pre-Chorus 2]
How come I'd never hear you say
"I just wanna be with you" (Be with you)
I guess you never felt that way
[Chorus]
But since you been gone
I can breathe for the first time
I'm so moving on, yeah, yeah
Thanks to you, now I get, I get what I want
Since you been gone
[Bridge]
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
[Chorus 2]
Since you been gone (Since you been gone)
I can breathe for the first time
I'm so moving 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 moving 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
[Outro]
Since you been gone
Since you been gone
Since you been gone
Here's the thing, we started out friends
It was cool, but it was all pretend
Yeah, yeah, since you been gone
You dedicated, you took the time
Wasn't long till I called you mine
Yeah, yeah, since you been gone
[Pre-Chorus 1]
And all you'd ever hear me say
Is how I pictured me with you
That's all you'd ever hear me say
