# And That Is Why

**Verse 1**
I have decided that you are not the one,
You and I will forever be done.
What could have been, we will never know,
However, that is fine with me—there is nothing here to show.
Even though you did make my heart swell,
I can’t stay, and so I’d like to wish you well.
There’s no reason for me to hold on anymore,
So I’m walking away and gently closing the door.

**Chorus**
I’m going back to where I belong,
To the heart that I can call my home.
Yes, I do admit that this love has had its ups and downs,
But I have to turn around,
And stay with what I know,
And that is why *(that is why)*,
And that is why I must let you go.

**Verse 2**
There was a time I thought that you might be,
The missing piece that would complete the rest of me.
But love should never leave you wondering where you stand,
Or reaching out forever for an empty hand.
So I’ll treasure every moment that was real,
And I won’t deny the way you made me feel.
But sometimes loving means you have to close the door,
And walk away from what you wanted something more.

[instrumental - Spanish guitar ]
**Final Chorus**
I’m going back to where I belong,
To the heart that I can call my home.
Yes, I do admit that this love has had its ups and downs,
But I have to turn around,
And stay with what I know,
And that is why *(that is why)*,
Oh, that is why I must let you go.

**Outro — Slow and Tender**
So this is where our two roads say goodbye,
No angry words, no need to question why.
You’ll always be a chapter that I’m thankful that I knew,
But I can’t keep chasing dreams that won’t come true.

And maybe somewhere down the road,
I’ll smile when I remember you.
But tonight I’m going home,
Back to the love I know.

And that is why...
*(That is why...)*
Yes, that is why...

I have to let you go.
