While You Were Gone Lyrics - Singles - Jennifer Paige

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 

Repeat til fade
