Since You've Been Gone
Rockett Queen Lyrics

These simple walls are closing in on me, again.
The singer feels trapped in their living space without their loved one.

There's empty spaces where your pictures used to hang,
The singer has removed any visual reminder of their loved one, leaving empty spots on the wall.

And is there anyone out there?
The singer feels isolated and wonders if anyone else is experiencing similar emotional pain.

It's been so long,
The singer has been without their loved one for an extended period of time.

Since anyones lived here.
The singer's home feels empty without their loved one's presence.

Since you've been gone it's been like hell for me,
The singer is experiencing intense emotional pain since their loved one left.

Another night, another lie, and it's clearer,
Each night, the singer is reminded of their loved one's absence, making it more difficult to cope.

(Since You've been gone)
The chorus emphasizes the impact of the loved one leaving.

I never thought you'd walk away and it's too late now
The singer regrets not taking action to prevent their loved one from leaving, and now feels it's impossible to do so.

'Cause no matter how hard I try,
The singer has attempted to move on from their loved one, but has been unsuccessful.

I'm empty inside and I just wanna feel you again
The singer feels emotionally numb and longs for their loved one's presence to fill the void.

There's just no use in changing sheets on this bed any more
The singer no longer changes the bed sheets because the side where their loved one slept is too painful to confront.

The side you slept has never felt this cold before.
The absence of the loved one has made the singer's bed feel cold and empty.

I still smell your hair,
The singer reminisces about their loved one through memories of their scent.

Even though you're gone.
Despite their absence, the singer still holds onto memories of their loved one.

And I can still see you everywhere.
The singer is constantly reminded of their loved one through visual associations.

We were so good together,
The singer remembers the positive aspects of their relationship with their loved one.

We thought it'd last forever
The singer believed their relationship with their loved one would never end.

And if you'd give me one more shot now,
The singer believes they could fix their relationship if their loved one gave them another chance.

I swear I'll love you till the heavens come down
The singer promises to love their partner unconditionally.

I, not so empty inside, I, I just wanna feel you again
The singer is starting to feel less numb but still longs for their loved one's presence.

And no matter how hard I fight, I,
Despite trying to move on, the singer cannot help but think of their loved one.

And no matter how hard I try I,
The singer is doing their best to cope with their situation but is struggling.

I, just wanna feel you again
The singer desires to be reunited with their loved one.
