Intro

Verse 1

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 begging you pleeeasse

Chorus

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

Verse 2

It seems that every time you swear to God that you're leaving

I'm down on my knees begging 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

Chorus

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

Bridge

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 (play chorus twice , , , )

Since you've been gone (hold)

 I need to hear from you

Since you've been gone (hold)

 I need to hear you (hold) say

Chorus

Tell me you're not alright

Tell me you're not okay
