Michael McDonald - That`s Why

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 every time
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 every time
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 every time
That's why
I know your soul 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 every time
That's why
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

Go on emptiness
I won't look behind me no more
I don't rule you out

That's why
I won't be down very long
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 every time
That's why
