I can hear that old clock ticking, passing time up on the wall
I can hear the faucet drippin' in the kitchen down the hall
I just sit here wishin' there was something I could say
To the one that I keep missing every night and every dayThere's things you learn to live with, now that's all I ever do
But I'll never get used to living without youNow I got used to tenderness, we'd hold each other tight
And I got used to happiness, we'd make love day and night
And I'll get used to mornings, eating breakfast all alone
Sitting in the evenings, when there's no one else at homeBut there's things you learn to live with, now that's all I ever do
But I'll never get used to living without youWithout you the sun still rises, without you the rivers run
I thought by now that I'd be realizing, what's done is doneI accept the notion that there's things you can't control
The changing of the seasons or the fact we're growing old
And I know I'm the reason that you had to go away
But I will keep believing that's the price I have to payBut there's things you learn to live with, now that's all I ever do
But I'll never get used to living without youOh there's things you learn to live with, now that's all I ever do
But I never get used to livin' without you, without you, without you
