[Verse 1]
Don't you know?
So many things, they come and go
Like your words that once rang true
Just like the love I thought I found in you
[Pre-Chorus]
And I remember the thunder
Talking about that fire in your eyes
But you walked away when I needed you most
And maybe, baby
Maybe, baby
[Chorus]
I found someone
To take away the heartache
To take away the loneliness
I've been feeling since you've been gone
Since you've been gone
[Verse 2]
Dry your eyes
I never could bear to see you cry
Someday your love will shine through
And show you the feelings you never really knew
[Pre-Chorus]
But don't you lose that thunder
Talking about that fire in your eyes
You're looking at me, but you still don't believe
And maybe, baby
Maybe, baby
[Chorus]
I found someone
To take away the heartache
To take away the loneliness
I've been living with since you've been gone
Since you've been gone
[Bridge]
Too long on the borderline
Wonderin' if your love was really mine
But you left me with open eyes
And now I realize
[Chorus]
I found someone
To take away the heartache
To take away the loneliness
I've been feeling since you've been gone
Baby, I found someone
To take away the heartache
To take away the loneliness
I've been living with since you've been gone
Since you've been gone
Since you've been gone
