Baby, I'm Learning

It's getting easier shutting down
and closing off myself to the truth of things that insist to surround
I guess it came with time--from learning that everyone is the same: nobody stays
All that I can claim is I'm a quicker healer now

Baby, I'm learning how to be alone...
Baby, I'm learning how to be alone...
Now the nights stretch worn and the days grow colder
and being sure is a life long over
Baby, I'm learning how to be alone again

We still had conversations then
Maybe they meant more than others to the point I grew,in time, to needing them 
Perhaps I should have gauged the deep to know the depth that I could sink;
but I always just assumed that you weren't going to let me drown
But then we fell apart and fell away
I guess it's fine-- it just seems strange that we fell apart and fell away that way
I guess it's fine-- it just keeps me awake

Baby, I'm learning how to be alone again...

You're probably reading this right now
and thinking you're the one who all these less than subtle lines are all about
I'd say you're arrogant, but you're right this time - every word is about you
But you probably knew this is what I'd do if I couldn't sleep tonight
Just don't forget I know you too; the fact that you're reading this is proof
Hi -- It's good to know that I'm still on your mind

Baby, are you learning how to be alone?
Baby, are you learning how to be alone?
Do the nights stretch worn and the days grow colder?
Is being sure part of life long over? 
Baby, are you learning how to be alone?
