It was cool but it was all pretend
Yeah yeah
Since u been gone
You dedicated 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
I'm so moving 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
I'm so moving 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
Since u been gone (since u been gone)
I can breathe for the first time
I'm so moving on

The song "Since U Been Gone" by A Day to Remember is an energetic and upbeat track that reflects on a past relationship. The lyrics talk about the singer's reaction to the breakup and after effects of it. The song starts with the singer reminiscing about the early days of the relationship, implying that it started with just a friendship, and it seemed perfect at first. But soon the singer realizes that it was all just a facade and unreal, and it was just a game played to gain attention.
The singer then describes how the ex-partner was attentive and dedicated, and it was just a matter of time before they became a couple. However, it was just one-sided, and the singer had always been vocal about how attached they were to the partner. Still, it seemed the partner did not feel that way about them. The singer then explains how the breakup made them feel liberated and happy, and they finally felt like they could breathe again. They express gratitude for the end of the relationship, as it allowed them to move on and achieve what they wanted.
The song then takes an aggressive tone as the singer addresses the ex, saying that they missed their chance and were now out of sight and out of mind. The singer expresses frustration at the ex-partner's inaction in the relationship and that it was the singer who put in all the effort. The chorus then repeats, emphasizing how much happier the singer is since the breakup.
