Song lyrics
Here's the thing: we started out friends
It was cool but it was all pretend
Yeah, yeah
Since you've been gone
You 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 pictured 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 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'd never hear you say,
"I just wanna be with you."
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
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 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
Since you've been gone
Since you've been gone
Since you've been gone
