Like a child lost in the wilderness I knew not where to go Surrounded by the emptiness Of a love that left me cold I stumbled through that darkness Of nights that have no stars
And days that have no sunshine To warm my naked heart Like a bird in flight brought down by stones From an unknown assailant's sling A stranger took you from my arms And I lost everything, In days to come I nearly ran
Out of ways to stay alive But through it all I never lost The will to survive (And)
I'm not over you and I doubt that I'll ever be But I've learned to live And you won't be the death of me, oh no Yes, I've learned to live and I'm doing well But I'm not over you
Like a thief who takes just what he needs And leaves the rest behind You took the heart right out of me And left me with my mind
And I've almost went out of it At times believed I did But gradually I learned you're someone I'll have to live with ('Cause)
I'm not over you and I doubt that I'll ever be But I've learned to live And you won't be the death of me, oh no Yes, I've learned to live and I'm doing well But I'm not over you
