[Verse 1]
It's, it's not a matter of
Heaven or hell (Wherever you are)
Wherever you are (I hope you're well)
I hope you're well
'Cause it's, it's been more than ten years now, yeah
And I'm still here thinking 'bout how you should've stayed
Oh, should've stayed

[Chorus]
Since you been away
Since you been away
Since you been away, ooh

[Verse 2]
I, and I will always remember
When I got that call (Almost dropped the phone)
Almost dropped the phone (Down to the ground)
To the floor
'Cause how could someone so righteous
Throw all their chances away to see a better day?

[Chorus]
Ah, since you been away
Since you been away
Since you been away
[Bridge]
Handshakes with air, an empty chair
Extra controller since you disappeared
Confused for years, you knew we cared
Running the tightrope, you slipped on your tears
And it's almost more than I can bear now
'Cause I'm still here dreaming 'bout
If you would've stayed
Yeah, yeah

[Chorus]
Since you been away
Since you been away
Since you been away, yeah
Since you been away
Since you been away
Since you been away
Since you been away
Since you been away
Since you been away
