Since You've Been Gone Lyrics
Kelly Clarkson
Lyrics
Here's the thing
We started out friends
It was cool but it was all pretend
Yeah, yeah, since you've been gone
You're dedicated
You took the time
Wasn't long till I called you mine
Yeah, yeah, since you've been gone
And all you'd ever hear me say
Is how I picture me with you
That's all you ever hear me say
But since you've 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've been gone.
How can I put it? You put me on
I even fell for that stupid love song
Yeah yeah, since you've been gone
How come I never hear you say
I just wanna be with you
I guess you never felt that way
But since you've been gone
I can breathe for the first time
I'm so moving on, oh, yeah, yeah, thanks to you
Now I get, I get what I want
(Since you've 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've been gone
(Since you've 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
Since you've 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)
You should know, you should know
That I get, I get what I want
Since you've been gone
Since you've been gone
Since you've been gone
