Song just sounds like it was written for me... I've taken the time to heal, I've forgiven my ex for leaving after 25 years, and I've come to be at peace with myself. What I forgot was how I hated dating, getting to know people, the ending of things with others because you know it is not going to end up where you want to be, and the rejection that comes when others must do it to you ....
"Learning to Live Again"
~~Garth Brooks~~
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
And I like the way she let me get the door
And 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
This 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
