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
