Since you've been gone
All I wanted was for you to come
Back to me and say you're sorry,
Baby I was wrong
But I waited my faith is strong
This hurt could be undone
Time goes by and hope subsides
I fell for way too long
I don't know when it changed
Cause I was always imagining
We'd be together
Cause I loved you
But now your standing here
I realized I'm really healed
Cuz I feel better
Than I thought I could do
I cried so many nights
Wishing you were by my side
My hearts so tired of breaking
Suddenly here you are
You're saying all the words
I was waiting for
But I don't want you no more
You got the same smile you did before
It used to make me weak in the knees
That look in your eyes used to drive me wild
But I already made my peace
Who knew there would come a time
When you said yes and I said no
Cause I missed you so long
And since you been gone
I've been trying to let you go
I don't know when it changed
Cause I was always imagining
We'd be together
Cause I loved you
But now your standing here
I realized I'm really healed
Cuz I feel better
Than I thought I could do
I cried so many nights
Wishing you were by my side
My hearts so tired of breaking
Suddenly here you are
You're saying all the words
I was waiting for
But I don't want you no more
No more sleeping with the lights turned on
No more weeping cause you didn't come home
No more lonely inside this heart
Your love don't live here anymore
I cried so many nights
Wishing you were by my side
My hearts so tired of breaking
Suddenly here you are
You're saying all the words
I was waiting for
But I don't want you no more
I cried so many nights
Wishing you were by my side
My hearts so tired of breaking
Suddenly here you are
You're saying all the words
I was waiting for
