Once You've Learned To Be Lonely

Capo 1st Fret

Intro:


Verse 1:


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


Chorus:


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


Verse 2:


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


Repeat Chorus


Bridge:


I ve built walls but I feel them falling down


Touch by touch your love is my way out


Repeat Chorus


There s a lot you have to undo


Once you ve learned to be lonely
