I Learned To Survive

Verse 1

It's been nearly five long years now

Since your touch was on my skin

I don't hear your voice on the roadside

Or the words you used to give

Pre-Chorus

The seasons turn and time just slips away

But I keep on standing on my own

Chorus

I know I can survive without you

I've learned how to hold the night

I know I can survive without you

Even when the moon forgets to shine

I keep breathing

I keep going

And somehow I'm still fine

Verse 2

Your memory lives in the porch light

In the worn-out porch and creaking gate

I don't wait for you by the fence row

And I don't second-guess the date

Pre-Chorus

The porch swing sways without your weight

And I've made peace with my own fate

Chorus

I know I can survive without you

I've learned how to hold the night

I know I can survive without you

Even when the moon forgets to shine

I keep breathing

I keep going

And somehow I'm still fine

Bridge

I used to think that love was needing

A hand to guide me through

But I found my own direction

Out here making my own truth

Chorus

I know I can survive without you

I've learned how to hold the night

I know I can survive without you

Even when the moon forgets to shine

I keep breathing

I keep going

And somehow I'm still fine

I'm still fine
