When you're talkin' to yourself aand nobody's home
You can fool yourself
You came in this world alone (alone)

So nobody ever told you baby
  how it was gonna be
So what will happen to you baby
Guess we'll have to wait and see

Old at heart but I'm only 28
And I'm much to young
  to let lovebreak my heart
Young at heart but it's geting much to late
To find ourselves so far apart

I don't know how you're s'posed
  to find me lately
An what more you could ask from me
How copuld you say that I never needed you
When you took everything
Said you took everything from me

Young at heart an it gets so hard to wait
When no-one I know can seem to help me now
Old at heart but I mustn't hesitate
If I'm to find my own way out

Still talkin to myself and nobody's home (alone)

So nobody ever told us baby
  how it was gonna be
So what will happen to us baby
Guess we'll have to wait and see

When I find all of the reasons
Maybe I'll find another way
Find another day
With all the changing seasons of my life
Maybe I'll get it right next time
An now that you've been broken down
got your head out of the clouds
You're back back down on the ground
And you don't talk so loud
  an you don't walk so proud
Any more and what for

Well I jumped into the river too many times
  to make it home
I'm out here on my own, and drifting all alone
If it doesn't show give it time
To read between the lines
'Cause I see the storm getting closer
And the waves they get so high
Seems everything we've ever known's here
Why must it drift away and die

I'll never find anyone to replace you
Guess I'll have to make it thru, this time
Oh this time
Without you

I knew the storm was getting closer
And all my freinds said I was high
But everything we've ever known here
I never wanted it to die
