Well I can see heaven See it over the plain And if I start running now I think I can make it And never look back again Your face is all around me Your keys are in my hand And everywhere I go I'll try to remember Exactly who I am 'Cause now that you're gone I can breathe Now that you're gone I am free Free to make a mess of everything 'Cause nothing belongs to me Now that you're gone I can breathe I can breathe We made a bed of roses But I got pricked by the thorns And on a long cold night I still think I'm bleeding But I wake up untorn Well I am a missing person I've lost it all but my name And, I'm afraid some long lonely road Will lead me back to you again 'Cause now that you're gone I can breathe Now that you're gone I am free Free to make a mess of everything 'Cause nothing belongs to me Now that you're gone Now that you're gone Now that you're gone Now that you're gone I can breathe Now that you're gone I am free Free to make a mess of everything 'Cause nobody's watching me Oh, Now that you're gone I am free, yeah Now that you're gone I can breathe, oh Now that you're gone I am free Now that you're gone I can breathe.
