We sleep together, close and warm   We calm each other through the storm   We set up home, but in a while   We're tempted by another's smile   When it's all played out    If the truth were known   You have to learn to live alone      We dance around the fading light    You hold me closer every night   You fell in love but I did not    But in the end you're all I've got   When it's all played out   When the truth is known   You have to learn to live alone      We fly around the world too fast    We cannot make one moment last   We love the crowd, we sing and play   We do it all, we get our way   When it's all played out   When the bird has flown   You have to learn to live alone      When we're all played out    If the truth were known    You have to learn to live alone
