I pretend you sit in front of me

I know this conversation well, well

Back and forth between reality

And what I've come to believe is all I have

Words are just a form of emptiness

When there's no one there to hearme

I see the bottom of this empty glass

It's staring back and I can feel the pain

I see tomorrow in your eyes

I'm learning to cry

I'll take it in stride

I'm learning to fly

I'm learning to hold my head up high

This fascination with what might have been

Always seems to leave me cold

I've gone so far and now I'm back again

The need to be (feel) alive is all I know

I see tomorrow in your eyes

I'm learning to cry

I'll take it in stride (after all these years)

I'm learning to fly

I'm learning to hold my head up high

I will hold up my hands

When I don't think I can

There's a peace right outside

In the light

I'm learning to cry

I'll take it in stride (after all these years)

I'm learning to fly

I'm learning to hold my head up high

I'm learning to cry

Don't keep it inside (learn to face my fears)

I'm learning to try

I'm learning to hold my head up high

I'm learning

I'm learning
