Sheryl Crow - I Know Why lyrics

They say love keeps on growin'
It's the one thing that I've
Felt I've always known
'Cause it wouldn't matter where you're goin'
'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 blowin' 'round but when
You let somebody in they might fade away

Tell me why the road keeps turnin'
When everything you want is straight ahead
And everything 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 blowin' 'round but when
You go and let somebody in
They might fade away

Oh, you say it's so overrated
Holdin' 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
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 blowin' 'round but when
You let somebody in they might fade away
Fade away
