I Know Why
Sheryl Crow


They say love keeps on growing
It's the one thing
That 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
Shadows in the wind
Rolling 'round but when
You 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
Shadows 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 say
I know why the heart gets lonely
Every time you give your love away
And if you think that you are only
Shadows in the wind
You thought your thing can't get
I know why the heart gets lonely
Every time you give your love away
And if you think that you are only
Shadows in the wind
Rolling 'round but when
You let somebody in they might fade away
Fade away
