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 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'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 moving on, yeah yeah
thanks to you now 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

since you been gone (since you been gone)
i can breathe for the first time
