I, I've been trying to fly
With the past on my mind
With you on my mind
Your words hanging over my head
Like a storm cloud
You never let the light shine down

But I know I gotta run, I wanna be myself again
It was easy to believe that you were all I'd need

If only I could learn to be lonely
If only I could learn to be lonely
It's time to move on, but time is taking too long
If only I could learn to be lonely
Maybe someday I won't be

I, I've been remembering when
All I had was us
When love meant trust
And your voice will haunt me for months
Until I know how
To quiet these memories down

But I know I gotta run, I wanna fall in love again
It's harder to forget than it ever was to leave

If only I could learn to be lonely
If only I could learn to be lonely
It's time to move on, but time is taking too long
If only I could learn to be lonely
Maybe someday I won't be

I, now I'm dancing alone
At a new pace
With an empty hand just in case

If only I could learn to be lonely, woah oh
If only I could learn to be lonely
It's time to move on, but time is taking too long
If only I could learn to be lonely
Maybe someday I won't be

I, I've been trying to fly
With the past on my mind
With you on my mind
