It seems that nothing ever goes my way  Since you broke my heart when you left that day  There's nowhere to go so just stay with me  Cuz since you've been gone, I've been beggin' you please    To tell me you're not alright  And you needed to come home  (Since you've been gone)  To tell me you're not okay  And you needed me all along  Since you've been gone  I need to hear from you  Since you've been gone    It seems that every time you swear to God that you're leaving  I'm down on my knees beggin' you to stay  There's nowhere to go so just stay with me  Cuz since you've been gone, I've been beggin' you please    To tell me you're not alright  And you needed to come home  (Since you've been gone)  To tell me you're not okay  And you needed me all along  Since you've been gone    Please don't leave me here alone  Just stay awhile  Make me smile  Please don't leave me here alone  Just stay awhile  And, baby, smile    Since you've been gone  I need to hear from you  Since you've been gone  I need to hear you say    Tell me you're not alright  And you needed to come home  (Since you've been gone)  Tell me you're not okay  And you needed me all along  Since you've been gone  I need to hear you say  Since you've been gone  Don't tell me  Don't tell me  I need to hear you say
