Thats Why
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Look back loneliness, you won't see me behind you
Hey now emptiness, no more leading the way
Go on desperateness, i don't need you beside me no more
Come on happiness, i can feel you gaining ground
Hey now foolishness, i might keep you around
Go on emptiness, i won't look behind me no more
I don't rule you out, i know you're there
But i'm on to you now
Chorus:
That's why, i won't be down very long
That's why, i'll be all right from now on
That's why, i get stronger everytime
That's why, i know this heart will survive
After you're gone
You know i believe all we really have is time
No use worrying, no use wondering why
'cause through it all, we're only here to laugh and cry
It's meant to be that failure only brings another way
Every heartache always has another day
Come on loneliness, i don't need to hide you no more
I don't rule you out, i know you're there
But i'm on to you now
Chorus:
