» Since You Left

I was having a pretty good day.

Coffee in hand, a beautiful morning in my favorite book store

Then the door creaked with the ring of a bell, and you walked in looking like, well…

Let’s just say, I’m glad I wore my good jeans today.

Your eyes find mine, so I decide to tell you exactly how life’s been

 

CHORUS 1

Since you left I’ve been great

I got a job I love and I lost that weight you always complained about

That song of mine you didn’t like has been a hit on the radio for a while

And my brother’s friend who always beat you at wrestling—well, we’re dating.

If you’re wonderin’ how my life’s been since you walked away

It’s been great!

 

You mutter somethin’ ‘bout this girl you’re with

When right on cue she walks in. Well let’s just say I was unimpressed

Heard she was just one of your one night stands til her daddy found out and you married real fast

At the point of a shotgun, I’d guess

Bet you’re wishing bad that you had me back. Too bad, too late, that was your mistake

 

CHORUS 2

Since you left I’ve been great

I finally bought myself a little place. Did I mention it’s got an ocean view?

And that book I wrote you swore was trash just sold a million copies in the U.S

There’s even talk of a movie too

Well I gotta run. This has been real fun.

We should really do this again.

 

CHORUS 3

Since you left I’ve been great

I’m living the dreams you told me to throw away. Isn’t irony the best?

So see ya ‘round, and good luck. Feel free to watch what you gave up leave you in the dust

Without a single backward glance

You can bet my words you’ll regret me for         ever and I couldn’t be happier

  

(Repeat Chorus 1)
