About This Is Why

“This Is Why“ is Paramore’s first release in over five years. Taken from their sixth studio album of the same name, it is the first-ever title track for the Nashville trio. The song explores some of the challenges Hayley has faced as the frontwoman of a world-famous band including constant pressure in the public eye and having personal issues broadcast publicly. The song also marks the end of a four-year-long “time off” the band took after completing the tour supporting “After Laughter“. .

This Is Why Lyrics

[00:31.39] If you have an opinion
[00:35.37] Maybe you should shove it
[00:38.88] Or maybe you could scream it
[00:43.78] Might be best to keep it
[00:45.80] To yourself (to yourself)
[00:49.73] To yourself (to yourself)
[00:54.67] This is why I don't leave the house
[00:58.36] You say the coast is clear
[01:00.46] But you won't catch me out
[01:02.01] Oh, why?
[01:05.44] This is why
[01:10.32] Better have conviction
[01:13.97] 'Cause we want crimes of passion
[01:17.71] Survival of the fittest
[01:21.35] You're either with us, or you can keep it
[01:24.88] To yourself (to yourself)
[01:28.93] To yourself (to yourself)
[01:32.79] To yourself, yourself, yourself
[01:36.65] To yourself (to yourself)
[01:41.56] This is why I don't leave the house
[01:45.11] You say the coast is clear
[01:47.28] But you won't catch me out
[01:48.87] Oh, why?
[01:52.39] This is why
[01:57.11] This is why I don't leave the house
[02:00.80] You say the coast is clear
[02:02.72] But you won't catch me out
[02:04.49] Oh, why?
[02:07.86] This is why
[02:11.06]
[02:21.02] One step beyond your door
[02:24.23] It might as well have been a free fall
[02:28.95] One step beyond your door
[02:32.10] Falling down an endless hall
[02:36.62] One step beyond your door
[02:39.94] Might as well have been a free fall
[02:44.50] One step beyond your door
[02:47.24] And I'm floating like a cannonball
[02:51.72] This is why I don't leave the house
[02:55.47] You say the coast is clear
[02:57.51] But you won't catch me out
[02:59.13] Oh, why?
[03:02.52] This is why
[03:07.33] This is why I don't leave the house
[03:11.01] You say the coast is clear
[03:12.64] But, oh, no, you won't catch me out
[03:14.78] Oh, why?
[03:18.10] This is why
[03:19.71]
