Since You’ve Been Gone (Arnold Edition)

Lyrics

[Verse 1] You had the keys to the kingdom You had the best of my best I let you drive like a maniac You ran that thing off the cliff I guess I did the flowers and the flexing I did the suit and the charm You did the drama and the exit Now I’m alone with these giant arms [Chorus] Since you’ve been gone I’ve been lifting my heart like a hundred pounds Since you’ve been gone I hear your voice Then I drown it out with sound You walked away I stayed and I got strong Baby Look at these gains Since you’ve been gone Since you’ve been gone (yeah, I’m moving on) [Verse 2] Used to be all fancy dinners Little candles Quiet talk I skipped my reps just to hold you Now I take long victory walks I got the mornings for my coffee I got the mirror for my grin You got your silence in another town I got my life and this stubborn chin [Chorus] Since you’ve been gone I’ve been lifting my heart like a hundred pounds Since you’ve been gone I hear your voice Then I drown it out with sound You walked away I stayed and I got strong Baby Look at these gains Since you’ve been gone Since you’ve been gone (hey, I carry on) [Bridge] I thought I needed your approval Like I needed air in my lungs But now I’m laughing at the movie Where I played the fragile one (come on) Now I’m louder than the echoes Of the way you said goodbye You were the storm I was the mountain You just passed me by (ha!) [Chorus] Since you’ve been gone I’ve been lifting my heart like a hundred pounds Since you’ve been gone I’m shouting your name But I like the way it sounds You walked away I stayed and I got strong Baby Look at these gains Since you’ve been gone Since you’ve been gone (I’m so, so strong)
