Funny how you can go on livin'

And lose the simple knack of givin'

It slips away before you know it's gone

Ya build up walls and before ya know it

Someone moves you and you want to show it

But you just can't find a way of lettin' on



I've been alone to long

Baby now don't you see

I've been alone too long

That's all that's wrong with me

I want to build you a dream

Paint you a sunrise

Write you a beautiful song

But I don't know how

I've been alone to long



Funny how you can cut off feelin'

And tell yourself that your wounds are healing

When all you've done is turn the pain inside

And when your sure that no one can get to ya

Someone smiles and it goes right through ya

And wakes up somethin' that you thought had died



(Chorus)



I've been alone to long

I've been alone to long

I've been alone to long

I've been alone to long
