That's Why

[Verse 1]

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

[Pre-Chorus]

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 alright from now on

(That's why) I get stronger every time

(That's why) I know this heart will survive

After you're gone

[Verse 2]

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

[Pre-Chorus]

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 alright from now on

(That's why) I get stronger every time

(That's why) I know this heart will survive

After you're gone

[Instrumental Break]

[Pre-Chorus]

I don't rule you out, I know you're there

But I'm on to you now

[Outro]

(That's why) I won't be down very long

(That's why) I'll be alright from now on

(That's why) I get stronger every time

(That's why) I know this heart will survive

(That's why) I won't be down very long

(That's why) I'll be alright from now on

(That's why) I get stronger every time

(That's why) I know this heart will survive

(That's why)
