Since U Been Gone
Kelly Clarkson

Here's the thing we started off friends
It was cool but it was all pretend¹
Yeah yeah
Since U Been Gone

You dedicated³ 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
But Since U Been Gone
I can breathe for the first time
Im so movin on
Yeah yeah
Thanks to you
Now I get
What I want
Since U Been Gone

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
But Since U Been Gone
I can breathe for the first time
Im so movin on
Yeah yeah
Thanks to you
Now I get
I get what I want
Since U 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

I can breathe for the first time
Since U Been Gone
I can breathe for the first time
Im so movin on
Yeah yeah
Thanks to you (thanks to you)
Now I get
I get what I want
I can breathe for the first time
Im so movin 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

中文歌词：
从现在开始
我们分手只做朋友
多么悲凉？但这只是伪装
耶，耶，自从你离去
你专注了，你将感受孤独
不要多久，你就会成为我的
耶，耶，自从你离去
你所听我诉说的一切
那是我对你描述的谜面
那是我对你所诉说的一切
但自从你离去
我可以第一次真正呼吸
我实在是太过感激，耶，耶。
谢谢你，现在我得到我所想要
自从你离去
我怎么会爱上你，你欺骗了我
我甚至爱上了愚蠢的情歌
耶，耶，自从你离去
我怎么从来没有听你诉说
我只是想要与你相随
猜想你从来没有爱我一回
但自从你离去
我可以第一次真正呼吸
我实在是太过感激，耶，耶。
谢谢你，现在我得到我所想要
自从你离去
你本来有机会，你却放手不追
没有眼光，没有智商
闭上你的嘴，我对此不能容忍
一遍又一遍，三番四次
自从你离去（自从你离去）
我可以第一次真正呼吸
我实在是太过感激，耶，耶。
谢谢你（谢谢你）
现在我得到，得到我所想要
我可以第一次真正呼吸
我实在是太过感激，耶，耶。
谢谢你（谢谢你）
现在我得到（得到）
你应知道（你应知道）我所得到
我得到我所想要
自从你离去
自从你离去
自从你离去
