Jennifer Paige - 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
