Since You're Gone
02. The Pretty Reckless Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Since you steal
Since you hate everything I feel
Since you cheat
Since you lie
Since you don't wanna try things I wanna try
Since you been gone
Quite nicely actually
I've got a lot more friends
And I don't have to pretend
Since you're gone
Since you're gone
Since you're not what I want
You can take everything I've got
Take the sink
Take the drier
If I say I love you I am a liar
Since you been gone
My life has moved along
Quite nicely actually
Meet my lover Jen
And I don't have to pretend
Since you're gone
Since you're gone
Well I've been looking for a new direction anyway
I've been thinking bout my own protection to stay
Now that you're gone my life has moved along
Now that you're gone my life has moved along
Now that you're gone my life has moved along
Now that you're gone
Since you're high
Since you steal
Since you hate everything I feel
Since you cheat
Since you lie
Since you don't wanna try things I wanna try
Since you been gone
My life has moved along
Quite nicely actually
(Thanks for asking)
The lyrics of "Since You're Gone" by The Pretty Reckless express a sense of liberation and newfound happiness after a toxic relationship ends. The singer lists all the negative traits of her former partner, including drug use, stealing, cheating, and a lack of interest in trying new things. She then declares that since he's gone, her life has improved significantly. She has more friends, no longer has to pretend, and has even found a new lover named Jen. The singer also conveys a sense of self-empowerment and asserts that her ex can take everything she has because her love for him was a lie. The repeated chorus emphasizes the sense of relief and freedom the singer feels since her toxic partner is out of her life.

Man, the Pretty Reckless has some kickass music. I'm usually into heavier stuff, like Korn, ozzy osbourne, Mudvayne, ect. But, I am now fan of this band. They are awesome.
