Here's the thing
We started out friends
It was cool, but it was all pretend
Yeah, yeah, since you been gone
Dedicated, you took the time
Wasn't long till I called you mine
Yeah, yeah, since you been gone
And all you'd ever hear me say
Is how I picture me with you
That's all you'd ever hear me say

But since you been gone
I can breathe for the first time
I'm so movin' on, yeah yeah
Thanks to you, now I get what I want
Since you been gone

How can I put it, you put me on
I even fell for that stupid love song
Yeah, yeah, since you been gone
How come I'd never hear you say
I just wanna be with you
Guess you never felt that way

But since you been gone
I can breathe for the first time
I'm so movin' on, yeah, yeah
Thanks to you, now I get, I get what I want
Since you been gone

You had your chance, you blew it
Out of sight, out of mind
Shut your mouth, I just can't take it
Again and again and again and again

Since you been gone (since you been gone)
I can breathe for the first time
I'm so movin' on, yeah yeah
Thanks to you (thanks to you)
Now I get, I get what I want
I can breathe for the first time
I'm so movin' on, yeah yeah
Thanks to you (thanks to you)
Now I get (I get)
You should know (you should know) that I get
I get what I want

Since you been gone
Since you been gone
Since you been gone

Damn, sounds like me talking to my ex! Not really, but the sentiment is the same.

You are so right. Never knew I liked Kelly Clarkson.

Also I'm new to the divorce board so I thought I would say Hi.
Been mainly wasting time in the Infidelity/General section. I'll probably be wasting time here from now on. lol.

LOL..I HOLLERED that song every day...I HOLLERED IT in the car...it was my theme song, when I broke up with OM..it helped me heal...because I thought he realyl cared...he realyl loved me... we wer erealyl just friends, I kept justifying the gradual progression of our friendship that it was something that couldnt be stopped...and he would always burn lvoe songs onto CDS for me...this song bwecame popular right aroudn the time that happened..how perfect..ti was good therapy!


I just cant imagine you, WIFTY, belting Kelly Clarkson.
Changes my perspective on you!

I heard this one for the first time the other day, and I love it! It's a country song - George Strait, called "She Let Herself Go."

He wondered how she'd take it when he said goodbye.
Thought she might do some cryin': lose some sleep at night.
But he had no idea, when he hit the road,
That without him in her life, she'd let herself go.

Let herself go on a singles cruise,
To Vegas once, then to Honolulu.
Let herself go to New York City:
A week at the Spa; came back knocked-out pretty.
When he said he didn't love her no more,
She let herself go.

She poured her heart an' soul into their three-bedroom ranch.
Spent her days raisin' babies, ironin' his pants.
Came home one day from the grocery store and found his note,
And without him there to stop her, she let herself go.

Let herself go on her first blind-date:
Had the time of her life with some friends at the lake.
Let herself go, buy a brand new car,
Drove down to the beach he always said was too far.
Sand sure felt good between her toes:

She let herself go on a singles cruise,
To Vegas once, then to Honolulu.
Let herself go to New York City:
A week at the Spa; came back knocked-out pretty.
When he said he didn't love her no more,
She let herself go.

To Vegas once: Honolulu, New York City.
Came back knocked-out pretty.

Don't!
Shania Twain

Don't.... don't you wish we tried?
Do you feel what I feel inside?
You know our love's stronger than pride, ooh
No don't, let your anger grow
Just tell me what you need me to know
Please talk to me, don't close the door

Hmm, 'cause I wanna hear you,
I wanna be near you....

Don't fight, don't argue
Give me the chance, to say that I'm sorry
Just let me love you
Don't turn me away, don't tell me to go

Don't.... don't give up on trust
Don't give up on me, on us
If we could just hold on long enough

Hmm, we can do it,
we'll get through it....

Don't fight, don't argue
Just give me the chance, to say that I'm sorry
Just let me love you
Don't turn me away, don't tell me to go

Don't pretend that it's ok
Things won't get better that way
Don't do something you might regret someday....
Don't!

(instrumental)

Don't give up on me
Hmm, Don't!
(we can do it) We'll get through it

Don't fight, don't argue
Just give me the chance, to say that I'm sorry
Just let me love you
Don't turn me away, don't tell me to go

Don't!
(don't fight don't argue)
Don't give up on me
(give me the chance to say that I'm sorry)
Say that that I'm sorry
(just let me love you)
Don't give up on me
(don't turn me away)
Don't tell me to go....

Don't!
(don't fight don't argue)
Don't give up on me
(give me the chance to say that I'm sorry)
Say that that I'm sorry
(just let me love you)
Don't give up on me
(don't turn me away)
Don't tell me to go....

Like we never loved at all
Faith Hill and Tim McGraw


You never looked so good
As you did last night
Underneath those city lights
There walking with your friend
Laughing at the moon
I swear you looked right through me
But i'm still living with your goodbye
And you're just going on with your life

[chorus]
How can you just walk on by
Without one tear in your eye
Don't you have the slightest feelings left for me
Maybe that's just your way
Of dealing with the pain
Forgetting everything between our rise and fall
Like we never loved at all

You, i hear you're doing fine
Seems like you're doing well
As far as i can tell
Time is leaving us behind
Another week has passed
And still i haven't laughed yet
So tell me what your secret is
To letting go like you did, like you did

[chorus]

Did you forget the magic
Did you forget the passion
Did you ever miss me
Ever long to kiss me

[chorus]

You, you never looked so good

I always loved that Bonnie Rait song "It's too late now."

I don't know the lyrics, but it's along the lines of the first two songs.

Funny the progression of theme song you go through. I started with the kind Green Eyes put down. I was still married when I stopped caring so much that he wouldn't make changes for me. That to him I wasn't worth the effort.

Then, I separated. The joyous songs about the good things that can happen when someone moves out of your life and makes room for healthy things to come in.

Actually, you know what I really sing? No kidding.

"Praise God from whom all blessings flow.
Praise Him all creatures here below.
Praise Him above the heav'nly host.
Praise Father, Son and Holy Ghost."

It's nice and short and I've been singing it since I was nine, so I don't have a problem remembering the words most days.

That old photograph of us sure looks out of place
Laying on your bag out in the hall.
You're takin' it to remind you of our better days...
The one's you say you'll miss when you're gone.

Don't lie...don't try to fool me...
Cause girl I know what's goin' on.
Don't lie...you owe it to me...
Believe me leave well enough alone.
So just go ahead and say goodbye...
But don't lie.

Well I've seen all his letters in the closet
I've caught a trace of his cologne on you at night.
So don't stand there and act so broken hearted...
Tell me how its killin' you inside.

Don't lie...don't try to fool me...
Cause girl I know what's goin' on.
Don't lie...you owe it to me...
Believe me leave well enough alone.
So just go ahead and say goodbye...
But don't lie.

Just come out and say it...
Don't worry I can take it...
Don't you think that I deserve the truth?

Don't lie...don't try to fool me...
Cause girl I know what's goin' on.
Don't lie...you owe it to me...
Believe me leave well enough alone.
So just go ahead and say goodbye...
But don't lie.
