Since you've been gone
I've been better already
I've been moving all along without a burden to carry

I was tied down, losing control
I didn't sign up for an early death I wanna grow old


Since you've been gone
I've been ready already
I'm ready to move on from the life that was buried

I was dead once and now I'm alive
Equip myself to change the world a step at a time


Since you've been gone
I've been dreaming of making
A place that's called home with someone I could share it

No more late nights, with gangs and pretenders
Stop wasting all the time I have, Don't want to regret it.


Since you've been gone
I've been making a living
Not with a lot of money, it's the life I've been spending

Who said a rich life, means "Happiness"
Contented with the life I have thank God I am blessed


Since you've been gone
I've been singing and singing
Been sharing bout' my life so that others won't regret theirs

And live strong, beyond the sex and the drugs
Jack Daniel's on the sauce and look I'm not even drunk


Since you've been gone
I've been praying and praying
That though the worlds tough it wont be me down and begging

I'm gonna get up, carry my cross
And walk across the finish line, to where I belong
