lyrics

Learning to Live Without You
(words & music by Nicolette Aubourg © 2005)

There must be some advantage to
living without you;
some kind of compensation for the
pain of missing you.
They say that I’ll recover -
they say that people do.
But I’m not them and they’re not you,
so how can I believe it’s true?

The more I think about it,
the more I think of you.
So I go online, I choose a few,
but their faces are not you.
I drink some wine, I take a hike,
talk on the phone, see if you’re home.
I read a book, I try to cook,
I write a song, I try to be strong.

I’m learning to live without you.
I’m learning to live without you.

I can walk around naked
without any makeup.
I can have all the covers,
I can take on a lover.
I can cry when I want to,
I can dance like I once did,
but there’s one thing I can’t do:
I can’t seem to learn to live
without you.

There’s a place beside me
where you used to sleep.
There’s a space inside me
where you used to be.
I watch the moon so pretty,
I watch it on my own.
Driving through the city,
I can’t seem to find my way
all alone.

But I’m learning to live without you.
I’m learning to live without you.
I’m learning to live without you.
