Since You've Been Gone
Dirtyphonics feat. Matt Rose Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Since you′ve been gone
Since you've been gone
Since you′ve been gone
Since you've been gone
Since you've been gone
All of these feelings have never moved on
It′s breaking me inside
No battle was won
Our love has succumbed
To feed our desire
You′re still the one
Since you've been gone
Nothing′s moved place in
The place that you hold
These memories are fading
I never meant to lie
My heart was on the line
I'm searching for the key
To bring you back to me
Will you ever miss all those glory days?
Hiding in the sand of our loves today
Will you ever miss all the good?
I can′t live, I can't live
Since you′ve been gone
Since you've been gone
Since you've been gone
Since you′ve been gone
It′s killing me and you, yeah
And we can see the truth
Everything we try is
Making us more broken-hearted
I don't place the blame on a single thing
We′re guilty of the same, our fate is closing in
[?] the same, never felt so good
I can't pretend, but all good things must end
Since you′ve been gone
Since you've been gone




Since you′ve been gone
Since you've been gone
