I keep my head on straight And my eyes wide open I try to move forward Wishing and hoping I took a hold of myself In the middle of November Don't you look back now Is all I can remember I feel like I'm leaving Like I'm leaving home Like the clouds are parting and I'm not alone I'm learning to live Living to learn Starting to sing my song Right, or wrong Breaking away Setting me free Free to be my own me I'm learning to live I got my vanity crisis From my beautiful mother I'm not gonna go there I'm anything other Take another deep breath now It's just one more hurdle I'm breaking this line Before it comes full circle I feel like I'm leaving Like I'm leaving home Like he clouds are parting and I'm not alone I'm learning to live Living to learn Starting to sing my song Right or wrong Breaking away Setting me free Free to be my own me I found a place where I can lay my hate down Somewhere that I can finally be myself - be myself I'm learning to live Living to learn Starting to sing my song Right or wrong Breaking away Setting me free Free to be my own me I'm learning to live (Living to learn) (Starting to sing my song) living to learn (Right or wrong) I'm breaking away Setting me free Free to be my own me I'm learning to live...

There was no time for pain, no energy for anger The sightlessness of hatred slips away Walking through winter streets alone He stops and takes a breath With confidence and self-control I look at the world and see no understanding I'm waiting to find some sense of strength I'm begging you from the bottom of my heart To show me understanding I need to live life Like some people never will So find me kindness, find me beauty, find me truth When temptation brings me to my knees And I lay here drained of strength Show me kindness, show me beauty, show me truth The way your heart sounds Makes all the difference It's what decides if you'll endure the pain that we all feel The way your heart beats Makes all the difference in learning to live Here before me is my soul I'm learning to live I won't give up 'til I've no more to give No more to give Listening to the city Whispering its violence I set out watching from above The '90s bring new questions New solutions to be found I fell in love to be let down Once again we dance in the crowd At times a step away From a common fear that's all spread out It won't listen to what you say Once you're touched you stand alone To face the bitter fight Once I reached for love and now I reach for life Another chance to lift my life I free the sensation in my heart To ride the wings of dreams Into changing horizons It brings inner peace within my mind As I'm lifted from where I've spilt my life I hear an innocent voice I hear kindness, beauty and truth The way your heart sounds Makes all the difference It's what decides if you'll endure the pain that we all feel The way your heart beats Makes all the difference in learning to live Spread before you is your soul So forever hold the dreams within our hearts Through nature's inflexible grace I'm learning to live

I find myself in a strange situation And I don't know how What seemed to be an infatuation Is so different now I can't get by if we're not together Ooh, can't you see? Girl, I want you now and forever Close to me I'm longing for the time I'm longing for the day Hoping that you will promise to be mine And never go away I don't want to live without you I don't want to live without you I could never live without you Live without your love Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh I asked myself but there's no explanatoin For the way I feel I know I've reached the right destination And I know it's real I'm longing for the time I'm longing for the day When I'll be giving you this heart of mine Believe me when I say I don't want to live without you I don't want to live without you I could never live without you Live without your love Now, I don't want to live without you I don't want to live without you I could never be without you Be without your love I don't want to live without you Live without your love (Live without your love) Live without your love (Live without your love) You see, I'm lost without your love (Live without your love) Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

I don't think I could live without your love Whatever I give you, I can't give you enough Memories of you, girl, day after day Make our love go stronger when you're so far away Like a midnight rider on an endless road I'm a sole survivor carrying a heavy load I don't want to live without you I don't want to feel the pain I don't want to live without you Nothin's gonna change it Never wanna live without you Don't think I could stand the pain I don't want to live without you I don't want to change it Now I know you've been waitin' for so long I've been lost for words so I'll give you this song Livin' on a memory and a picture of you Makes my heart skip a beat It's the best I can do Just a midnight rider on an endless road I'm a sole survivor carrying a heavy load I don't want to live without you I don't want to feel the pain I don't want to live without you Nothin's gonna change it Never wanna live without you Don't think I could stand the pain I don't want to live without you I don't want to change it It's just me and you and not a damn thing anyone else can do Baby, baby, our love is true Oh, don't you change me Like a midnight rider on an endless road I'm a sole survivor carrying a heavy load Baby, I don't want to live without you. I don't want to feel the pain I don't want to live without you Nothin's gonna change it I don't want to live without you I don't want to feel the pain I don't want to live without you Nothin's gonna change it Never wanna live without you Don't think I could stand the pain I don't want to live without you Nothin's gonna change it I don't think I could live without your love Whatever I give you, I can't give you enough Livin' on memories and pictures of you Makes my heart skip a beat It's the best I can do

You tell me you don't recognize my face You couldn't know just how much I would change Everything I ever knew keeps breaking Remember when we started making plans That night when first I said the words in France Now every time you say 'em back, it saves me And when the years have changed us And they've rearranged Everything that we thought would be true I'll keep learning to love you, oh I'll keep learning to love you And when we hurt each other and we both discover We're maybe not who we thought we would be You'll keep learning to love me, oh You'll keep learning to love me You know the very worst that I can be But see the deeper things that no one sees Remind me who I am and who I want to be, hey So time can come and try to do its worst 'Cause I know the cost of love and what it's worth And I'll hold onto you when the world is burning When the years have changed us And they've rearranged Everything that we thought would be true I'll keep learning to love you, oh I'll keep learning to love you And when we hurt each other and we both discover We're maybe not who we thought we would be You'll keep learning to love me, oh You'll keep learning to love me And when I hold you back And you make me mad And it's almost over When I don't want to pull you closer Because the years have changed us And they've rearranged Everything that we thought would be true But I'll keep learning to you, oh I'll keep learning to love you, love you, love you And we hurt each other and we both discover We're maybe not who we thought we would be You'll keep learning to love me, oh You'll keep learning to love me

It's hard to believe you're taller than me Don't know when but it happened somehow You're smiling at me when you ask for the keys And I'm begging you, "Please, could you slow down?" Growing up Is hard to do I know because I'm growing up with you You are gonna fly someday But you will always have a home You're learning how to make your own way And I'm learning to let you go You were never mine to keep You were always just on loan So have a little patience with me 'Cause I'm learning to let you go When you were small, your problems were solved With a hug and a kiss and a Band-Aid But it's not easy now, and you'll figure it out Though I wish I could save you from heartache Growing up Is hard to do I know because I'm growing up with you You are gonna fly someday But you will always have a home You're learning how to make your own way And I'm learning to let you go You were never mine to keep You were always just on loan So have a little patience with me 'Cause I'm learning to let you go I've gotta' be honest This might be the hardest thing I've to do Feels like the future came to soon Now I'm slowly letting go You are gonna fly someday But you will always have a home You're learning how to make your own way And I'm learning to let you go You were never mine to keep You were always just on loan So have a little patience with me 'Cause I'm learning to let you go Learning to let you go I'm learning to let you go
