TANYA TUCKER - I've Learned To Live



Album: Can't Run From Yourself (1992)





Like a child lost in the wilderness

I knew not where to go

Surrounded by the emptiness

Of a love that left me cold

I stumbled through that darkness

Of nights that have no stars

And days that have no sunshine

To warm my naked heart

Like a bird in flight brought down by stones

From an unknown assailant's sling

A stranger took you from my arms

And I lost everything

In days to come I nearly ran



Out of ways to stay alive

But through it all I never lost

The will to survive (and)



I'm not over you and I doubt that I'll ever be

But I've learned to live and you won't be the death of me, oh no

Yes I've learned to live and I'm doing well

But I'm not over you

Like a thief who takes just what he needs

And leaves the rest behind

You took the heart right out of me

And left me with my mind

And I've almost went out of it

At times believed I did

But gradually I learned you're someone

I'll have to live with ('cause)



I'm not over you and I doubt that I'll ever be

But I've learned to live and you won't be the death of me, oh no

Yes I've learned to live and I'm doing well

But I'm not over you



I'm not over you and I doubt that I'll ever be

But I've learned to live and you won't be the death of me, oh no

Yes I've learned to live and I'm doing well

But I'm not over you
