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 
'Cause since you've been gone, I've been begging 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 begging you to stay 
There's nowhere to go so just stay with me 
'Cause since you've been gone, I've been begging 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 and make me smile 
Please don't leave me here alone 
Just stay awhile, 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
