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 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 
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, that I get 
I get what I want 

Since you been gone 
Since you been gone 
Since you been gone
