I get the same old dreams 
Same time every night 
Fall to the ground then 
I wake up 
So I get out of bed 
Put on my shoes and in my head 
Thoughts slide back to the break up 
These four walls are closing in 
Look at the pitch you put me in *
Since you've been gone 
Since you've been gone 
I'm out of my head 
Can't take it 
Could I be wrong 
But since you've been gone 
You cast a spell so break it 
Since you've been gone 
So in the night 
I stand Beneath the back street lights 
I read the words that you sent to me 
I can take the afternoon 
But nighttime comes around too soon 
You don't know what you mean to me 
Your poison letters 
Your telegram 
Just goes to show you don't give a damn (Repeat *) 
Since you've been gone 
If you will come back 
Baby you know, you never do wrong (Repeat *) 
Ever since you've been gone **
Since you've been gone 
Since you've been gone 
I'm out of my head 
I can't take it (Repeat ** to fade)
