I've Learned to Live Songtext

von Tanya Tucker

Like a child lost in the wilderness,
I knew not where to go.
Surrounded by the emptiness,
Of a love that left me cold.
I stumbled through the darkness,
Of nights that had no stars.
And days that had no sunshine,
To warm my broken heart.

Like a bird in flight brought down by storms,
From an unknown sailing sea.
A stranger took you from my arms,
And I lost everything.
In days to come, I nearly ran,
Out of ways to stay alive.
But through it all I never lost,
The will to survive.

And I'm not over you and I doubt that I'll ever be,
But I've learned to live and you won't be the death of me, oh no.
Yes, I've learned to live and I'm doing well,
But I'm not over you.

Like a thief who takes just what he needs,
And leaves the rest behind.
You took the heart right out of me,
And left me with my mind.
And I almost went out of it:
At times believed I did.
But gradually I learned you're someone,
I'll have to live with.

'Cause I'm not over you and I doubt that I'll ever be.
But I've learned to live and you won't be the death of me, oh no.
Yes I've learned to live and I'm doing well.
But I'm not over you.
