Since You’ve Been Gone

Since you've been gone
I realize I'm better off without a you
It turned out you can't be counted on
And now I got a lot of living left to do
And now I'm walking away
It's a beautiful day

Wonderful time I'm playin' around and around
I play and I know
I'm born to be bound to be free and happy
And it's no crime walking in the sun
Since you've been gone
Since you've been gone

Since you've been gone
I have had some crazy busy days and busy nights
Seen the memory fading with the dawn
And laid my hungry hands of heavenly delights
And I'm singing a song
Not a thing can go wrong

Wonderful time I'm playin' around and around
I play and I know
I'm born to be bound to be free and happy
And it's no crime walking in the sun
Since you've been gone

Still I remember the look in your eyes that day
When all that was mine went down in a bag
And at the bottom a broken dream
In the middle of December
The frozen tears on the ground
Because nothing make sense in a world of fools
Where I met reason is not in season

Since you've been gone
I show the universe I'm glad you're not around
It's not a play that I've been puttin' on
It's just a way to get my feet back on the ground
And maybe some day I don't lie when I say:

Wonderful time I'm playin' around and around
I play and I know
I'm born to be bound to be free
I was born to be free
I was born to be walking in the sun
Since you've been gone
Since you've been gone

Since you've been gone
I've been trying so hard to make it on my own
Since you've been gone
Since you've been gone
