I've Learned To Live

Like a child lost in the wilderness

I knew not where to go

Surrounded by the emptiness

Of a love that left me cold

I stumbled through the darkness

Of nights that had no stars

And days that had no sunshine

To warm my naked heart

Like a bird in flight brought down by stones

From an unknown assailant's sling

A stranger took you from my arms

And I lost everything

In days to come I nearly run

Out of ways to stay alive

But through it all I never lost

The will to survive

But I'm not over you and I doubt that I'll ever be

But I've learned to live and you won't be

The death of me, oh no, yes, I've learned to live

And I'm doing well but I'm not over you

Like a thief who takes just what he needs

And he leaves the rest behind

You took the heart right out of me

And you left me with my mind

I've almost gone out of it

And at times I thought I did

But gradually I've learned that you're someone

I have to learn to live with

But I'm not over you and I doubt that I'll ever be

But I've learned to live and you won't be

The death of me, oh no, yes, I've learned to live

And I'm doing well but I'm not over you
