I've Learned To Live Lyrics - Soft Talk - Shelby Lynne

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 naked heart 

Like a bird in flight brought down by stones 

From an unknown assailant's sling 

A stranger took you from my arms 

And I lost everything 

In days to come I nearly run 

Out of ways to stay alive 

But through it all I never lost 

The will to survive 

But 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 he leaves the rest behind 

You took the heart right out of me 

And you left me with my mind 

I've almost gone out of it 

And at times I thought I did 

But gradually I've learned that you're someone 

I have to learn to live with 

But 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
