Learning To Live Again Lyrics

 (Stephanie Davis, Don Schlitz) 

 I burned my hand, I cut my face 
 Heaven knows how long it's been 
 Since I've felt so out of place 
 I'm wonderin' if I'll fit in 

 Debbie and Charley said they'd be here by nine 
 And Deb said she might bring a friend 
 Just my luck, they're right on time 
 So here I go again 

 I'm gonna smile my best smile 
 And I'm gonna laugh like it's going out of style 
 Look into her eyes and pray that she don't see 
 That learning to live again is killing me 

 Little cafe, table for four 
 But there's just conversation for three 
 I like the way she let me get the door 
 I wonder what she thinks of me 

 Debbie just whispered, "You're doin' fine" 
 And I wish that I felt the same 
 She's asked me to dance, now her hand's in mine 
 Oh, my god, I've forgotten her name 

 But I'm gonna smile my best smile 
 And I'm gonna laugh like it's going out of style 
 Look into her eyes and pray that she don't see 
 That learning to live again is killing me 

 Now here we are beneath her porch light 
 And I say what a great time it's been 
 A kiss on the cheek, a whisper goodnight 
 And I say, "can I see you again" 

 And she just smiles her best smile 
 And she laughs like it's going out of style 
 Looks into my eyes and says, "We'll see" 
 Oh this learning to live again is killing me 
 God this learning to live again is killing me
