Tell me a story
But whisper it softly in my ear
Sing me to sleep now
I feel so safe now that you're here

You do even wonder
Why you're happier in dreams
But when you're with me
Nothing's as hard as it may seem
As it may seem

[Chorus]
And show what it means
To live out all your dreams
Well, I can't do this on my own
This is the art
The art of bein' alone

Someone once told me
You can't always have everything worked out
But you are the only one
Who knows exactly what I'm talking about

Well show me what it means
To live out all your dreams
Well I can't do this on my own
This is the art
The art of bein' alone

[Instrumental]

I can't do this on my own

Well, show me what it means
To live out all your dreams
Well, I can't do this on my own
This is the art
The art of bein' alone

Bein' alone
Bein' alone
Bein' alone
