## Lyrics

* London

**[JULIET]**

Here's the thing, we started out friends

It was cool, but it was all pretend

Yeah, yeah, since you been gone

You dedicated, you took the time

Wasn't long till I called you mine

Yeah, yeah, since you been gone

And all you'd ever hear me say

Is how I pictured me with you

That's all you'd ever hear me say

**[JULIET AND WOMEN]**

But since you been gone

I can breathe for the first time

I'm so moving on, yeah, yeah

Thanks to you, now I get what I want

**[JULIET]**

Since you been gone

**[JULIET]**

How can I put it? You put me on

I even fell for that stupid love song

Yeah, yeah, since you been gone

How come I'd never hear you say

"I just wanna be with you"

I guess you never felt that way

**[JULIET AND WOMEN]**

But since you been gone

I can breathe for the first time

I'm so moving on, yeah, yeah

**[JULIET (AND WOMEN)]**

Thanks to you (Thanks to you)

Now I get (Now I get)

What I want (What I want)

What I want

**[JULIET AND WOMEN]**

You had your chance, you blew it

Out of sight, out of mind

Shut your mouth

**[JULIET]**

I just can't take it

**[JULIET AND WOMEN]**

Again and again and again and again

**[JULIET]**

But since you been gone

I can breathe for the first time

I'm so moving on, yeah, yeah

**[JULIET (AND WOMEN)]**

Thanks to you (Thanks to you)

Now I get (Now I get)

You should know (You should know)

That I get

**[JULIET AND WOMEN]**

I get what I want

**[JULIET (AND WOMEN)]**
