I pretend you sit in front of me
I know this conversation 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 hear me
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 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'm learning

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 (let me face my fears)
I'm learning to try
I'm learning to hold my head up high
I'm learning

I'm learning
I'm learning…
