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
