You Have to Learn to Live Alone

We sleep together, close and warm

We calm each other through the storm

We set up home, but in a while

We're tempted by another's smile

When it's all played out

If the truth were known

You have to learn to live alone

We dance around the fading light

You hold me closer every night

You fell in love but I did not

But in the end you're all I've got

When it's all played out

When the truth is known

You have to learn to live alone

We fly around the world too fast

We cannot make one moment last

We love the crowd, we sing and play

We do it all, we get our way

When it's all played out

When the bird has flown

You have to learn to live alone

When we're all played out

If the truth were known

You have to learn to live alone
