Here’s the thing, we started out friends
It was cool, but it was all pretend
Yeah yeah, since you been gone

Dedicated, you took the time
Wasn’t long till I called you mine
Yeah yeah, since you been gone

An 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’d never hear you say
I just wanna be with be with you
Guess you never felt that way

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!!!!!!!.........
