I Have to Learn to Live Alone Again
I have to learn
To live alone again
I used to burn
To live alone again
But this is now
And that was then
And now I have to live alone again
Did you paint your bedroom gold the way you planned?
Is the same love song open on the music stand?
Not knowing things like that is part of missing you
As much as never touching you or kissing you
I cross the silver bridge and see your balcony
The vines have filled the trellis with a filigree
I had such plans to see the way your garden grew
But missing out on that is part of missing you
As much as never touching you or kissing you
I have to learn
To live alone again
I used to burn
To live alone again
But now I do
I wonder when
I’ll ever learn
To live alone
Again
To live alone again
I used to burn
To live alone again
But this is now
And that was then
And now I have to live alone again
Did you paint your bedroom gold the way you planned?
Is the same love song open on the music stand?
Not knowing things like that is part of missing you
As much as never touching you or kissing you
I cross the silver bridge and see your balcony
The vines have filled the trellis with a filigree
I had such plans to see the way your garden grew
But missing out on that is part of missing you
As much as never touching you or kissing you
I have to learn
To live alone again
I used to burn
To live alone again
But now I do
I wonder when
I’ll ever learn
To live alone
Again
