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

Chorus:
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

Chorus:
