Lyrics:

“In Love All Alone”

I’ve learned to wake up each morning all alone
I’ve learned the meaning of hurting since you’ve been gone
And I never thought I’d be the one to break down and cry
But in order for me to feel better, I’d just have to die

Dinner for two is no fun if there’s only one
But I still reserve the same old table like I’ve always done
I’ve learned to do a lot of things by myself since you’ve gone
But I still haven’t learned how to be in love all alone

I still haven’t learned how to be in love all alone
I still haven’t learned how to live with the fact that you’re gone
If living without you is right, I’d rather be wrong
‘Cause I still haven’t learned how to be in love all alone

I keep myself busy thinking of ways to waste time
Reminding myself I’ve gotta get you off my mind
I guess I should think about following my own advice
If forgetting was loving you, I wouldn’t have to think twice

I still haven’t learned how to be in love all alone
I still haven’t learned how to live with the fact that you’re gone
If living without you is right, I’d rather be wrong
‘Cause I still haven’t learned how to be in love all alone
‘Cause I still haven’t learned how to be in love all alone
