LEARNING

well i never thought that i'd be learning
things this late in life
what i'm finding out
was never taught in school
you promised me a lesson
that i wouldn't soon forget
and you proved that you can even
teach a fool

    i'm learning how it feels to be alone
    gaining first hand knowledge of the empty
    that few have ever known
    it's an independent study
    i've done the work all on my own
    i'm learning how it feels to be alone

i've had a lesson on sunday mornings
without you by my side
another on just what tears are for
it's a test to see if i can sleep
in this king-sized bed alone
i don't want to have to learn any more

    i'm learning how it feels to be alone
    gaining first hand knowledge of the empty
    since your heart turned to stone
    it's an independent study
    i've done the work all on my own
    i'm learning how it feels to be alone
