It Takes Too Long to Learn to Live Alone (Live)

I leave the house and drive the car
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, 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 every time I do I know
Before the night is through
It's the same old thing behind my smile
I'm sitting there comparing them 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
It's a hell of a song, isn't it?
Thank you! Thank you so much ladies and gentlemen
