1. Here's the thing we started out friends
It was cool but it was all pretend
Yeah yeah
Since U Been Gone.

You dedicated you took the time
Wasn't long till I called you mine
Yeah Yeah
Since U 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.

[Chorus:]
But Since U 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 U Been Gone.

2. How can I put it? You put me on
I even fell for that stupid love song
Yeah, yeah
Since U Been Gone.

How come I'd never hear you say
I just wanna be with you
I guess you never felt that way.

[Coda:]
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 U 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 (you should know)
That I get, I get what I want
Since U Been Gone
Since U Been Gone
Since U Been Gone.
