It Takes Too Long to Learn to Live Alone

"I leave the house, I catch the bus And go to work, the way I did before The same routine most every day 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 rains how late we stayed in bed I've done so much to change the house, The attic's full of memories that 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, But I was wrong, I never knew It takes too long to learn to live alone I'm so alone
