| Look back loneliness, you wont see me behind you
|
| Hey now emptiness, no more leading the way
|
| Go on desperateness, I dont 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 wont look behind me no more
|
| I dont rule you out, I know youre there
|
| But Im on to you now
|
| Thats why, I wont be down very long
|
| Thats why, Ill be all right from now on Thats why, I get stronger everytime
|
| Thats why, I know this heart will survive
|
| After youre gone
|
| You know I believe all we really have is time
|
| No use worrying, no use wondering why
|
| cause through it all, were only here to laugh and cry
|
| Its meant to be that failure only brings another way
|
| Every heartache always has another day
|
| Come on loneliness, I dont need to hide you no more
|
| I dont rule you out, I know youre there
|
| But Im on to you now |
