I Know Why

They say love keeps on growing

But that's something I've felt I've always known

Cause it wouldn't matter where you're going

Cause where you are is where I wanna go

I know why the heart gets lonely

Every time you give your love away

And if you think that you are only

A shadow in the wind

Rolling 'round but when you go

And let somebody in they might fade away

Tell me why the road keeps turning

When everything you want is straight ahead

And every thing I thought worth learning

Is forgotten when I see your face instead

I know why the heart gets lonely

Every time you give your love away

And if you think that you are only

A shadow in the wind

Rolling 'round but when you go

And let somebody in they might fade away

All you say is so overrated

Holding on to yesterday

Along the way, it can get too complicated to stay

I know why the heart gets lonely

Every time you give your love away

And if you think that you are only

A shadow in the wind

You better think again

I know why the heart gets lonely

Every time you give your love away

And if you think that you are only

Feathers in the wind

Blowing around but when

You let somebody in they might fade away

Fade away
