Once You've Learned To Be Lonely

You're asking me to open up

I'm tryin' my best to give enough to keep this love alive

It wouldn't be so hard for me to do

If it hadn't have been for all my heart's been through

But once you've learned to be lonely

And lonely is the only thing you've known

It begins to feel like home, it becomes your comfort zone

And once you've learned to be without someone

And settle for the silence of an empty room oh, it changes you

There's a lot you have to undo once you've learned to be lonely

It becomes a habit of the heart

To be afraid to even start to try and love again

I want to give you myself to you

But I've been alone so long that

I'm scared, scared to move

Once you've learned to be lonely

And lonely is the only thing you've known

It begins to feel like home, it becomes your comfort zone

And once you've learned to be without someone

And settle for the silence of an empty room oh, it changes you

There's a lot you have to undo once you've learned to be lonely

I've built walls but

I feel them falling down

Touch by touch your love is my way out

But once you've learned to be lonely

And lonely is the only thing you've known

It begins to feel like home, it becomes your comfort zone

Once you've learned to be without someone

And settle for the silence of an empty room oh, it changes you

There's a lot you have to undo once you've learned to be lonely

There's a lot you have to undo once you've learned to be lonely
