That's Why - Michael McDonald

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

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

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

I don't rule you out

I know you're there

But I'm on to you now

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

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
