Here's the thing

We started out friends

It was cool, but it was all pretend

Yeah, yeah

Since you been gone

You're dedicated, you took the time

Wasn't long till I called you mine

Yeah, yeah

Since you 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 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

How can I put it? You put me on

I even fell for that stupid love song

Yeah, yeah

Since you been gone

How come I've never heard you say

I just want to be with you?

I guess you never felt that way

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

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

But 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 (now I get)

You should know (you should know)

That I get

I get what I want

Since you been gone
