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

'til I called you mine

yeah, yeah

since you 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 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 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'd never

hear you say

I just wanna be with you

guess you never

felt that way

But since you 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 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

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...

I can breathe

for the first time

I'm so movin' on

yeah, yeah

thanks to you

now I get

You should know

that I get

I get what I want

since you been gone

since you been gone

since you been gone
