While You Were Gone lyrics

I read you wrong

You said you`d only be away a while

But the days turned into weeks

and the weeks into miles, baby why?

You could`ve told me you were tellin` me goodbye

Could`ve come clean and let me walk away in style



Funny thing is.....

While I was missin` you

While I was figurin "what was I gonna do?"



I got wise

I got hip

I caught on to your tricks

I got over it real quick yeah baby

while you were gone

Now I`m cool

Can`t you tell?

Feel so good about myself

Funny thing happened to me baby

While you were gone



You look surprised

Like no one ever left you and survived

But leavin` me alone

Has kinda opened my eyes

Baby you, you gave me the time

To find somebody new

and I found strength inside of me I never knew



Funny thing is

While he was holding me

While he was showing me how it`s supposed to be



I got wise

I got hip

I caught on to your tricks

I got over it real quick yeah baby

While you were gone

Now I`m cool

Can`t you tell?

Feel so good about myself

Funny thing happened to me baby

While you were gone



Didn`t break

Didn`t cry

I just tell my head I`m fine

I learned how to say goodbye

While you were gone

I had time on my hands

Boy what don`t you understand?

Funny thing happened to me baby

While you were gone



oh... oh...

while you were gone I learned how to get along

while he was gone I got strong



While he was holdin me

While he was showin me

how it`s supposed to be, oh oh whoa





Didn`t break

Didn`t cry

I just tell my head I`m fine

I learned how to say goodbye

While you were gone

I had time on my hands

Boy what don`t you understand?

Funny thing happened to me baby

While you were gone





I got wise

I got hip

I caught on to your tricks

I got over it real quick yeah baby

While you were gone

Now I`m cool

Can`t you tell?

Feel so good about myself

Funny thing happened to me baby

While you were gone





repeat til fade
