lyrics

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
