Learn to Be Lonely

You and your woman have parted
Loneliness scares you too death
You’d like to get a little somethin’ started
To fill up that void that she left

You say your life is so hollow
And you sigh as you whisper my name
And though I am tempted to follow
Here’s some advice just the same

Chorus:
You got to learn to be lonely
You got to walk the black city of your soul
You got to learn to be lonely
It’s the only way to learn to be whole

How in the world will you make it
With the life that you knew at an end?
Well, stand like a man, and take it
And learn to be lonely, my friend

Chorus:
Bridge:
Now you got that freedom that you had to go and sin for
You feel as hard and empty as a fist
Little boy, you really didn’t know what you were in for, but
No one’s ever quite prepared for this

You’ll find your way in your fashion
And although you may telln yourself lies
Sometimes you will act out of passion
Sometimes the lonely only fantasize
