It Takes Too Long to Learn to Live Alone
I leave the house I catch the bus
- I leave the house I catch the bus
- And go to work the way I did before
- The same routine most everyday
- Except I guess I see my folks much more
- A year has passed I thought by now
- That I could make a new life of my own
- But habits are so hard to break
- I think of you and I still ache
- It takes too long to learn to live alone
- It's really bad when Friday comes
- Because I know the weekend lies ahead
- The walks we took the football games
- And when it rained how late we stayed in bed
- I've done so much to change the house
- The attic's full of memories I've known
- And yet when I turn out the light
- I wait for you to say 'goodnight'
- It takes too long to learn to live alone
- I go on dates but when I do
- I always find before the night is through
- The same old thing behind my smile
- I'm sitting there comparing him to you
- And in the end it's always you
- I feel it even more when I get home
- I thought that I was free of you
- But I was wrong I never knew
- It takes too long to learn to live alone
- And in the end it's always you
- I feel it even more when I get home
- I thought that I was free of you
- Oh but I was wrong I never knew
- It takes too long to learn to live alone
- I'm alone
