Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
Since you're gone, since you're gone
Since you're not what I want
You can take everything I've got
Take the seat, take the drive
If I say I love you, I am a liar
Since you been gone
My life has moved along quite nicely actually
Well, meet my lover Gin and I don't have to pretend
Since you're gone, since you're gone
I've been looking for a new direction, anyway
I've been thinkin' bout my own protection, instead
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 hide, 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
Quite nicely actually, quite nicely actually
Quite nicely actually, quite nicely actually
Quite nicely actually, quite nicely, thanks for asking
