Since you’ve been gone
Life just hasn’t been the same
Days turned into weeks
Weeks turned into months

Since you’ve been gone
I’ve learned to move on
in life
Making it to high school

Since you’ve been gone
I’ve learned to live without you
through the break-ups
and bad days

Since you’ve been gone
I fell in love
with boy
but you weren’t there to
protect me

Since you’ve been gone
I’ve changed a lot
I’ve learned to forgive and forget

Since you’ve been gone
I’ve graduated high school
And got accepted into college

So here I am now
18 years old and living life
I thought I needed you
but in reality
I didn’t
