Here's the thing, we started out friends 
 It was cool, but it was all pretend 
 Yeah, yeah 
 Since you been gone 
    You're dedicated, you took the time 
 Wasn't long till I called you mine 
 Yeah, yeah 
 Since you been gone   
 And 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 movin' 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 movin' on, yeah, yeah 
 Thanks to you 
 Now I get 
 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

 Thanks to you (thanks to you)
