That Is Why Lyrics by Jellyfish

Bellybutton

1990

[Verse 1]
Though it's hard to admit it's true
I've come to depend on you
You and your angelic shout
Loud enough for two
[Chorus]
And that is why
I'll confide in you the truth this time
That is why
I just can't go on and live this lie
[Verse 2]
Yesterday all was right as rain
But now the forecast's not
It's partly cloudy with trouser stains
And his copy of enquiring minds
[Verse 3]
But that never meant that much to her
She chose to keep her nose too clean
She'd rather keep it pointed anyway
In the spine of a magazine
[Chorus]
And that is why
I'll confide in you the truth this time
That is why
I just can't go on and live this lie
[Bridge]
And when you say I trust in you
I promise you the truth
And when you say I bet you won't
You know I will
And it'll be better in the end
[Guitar solo]
[Verse 4]
So when you think you've got it figured out
Then you know you don't
Like all the rest you'd like to sit and pout
But of course you won't
[Chorus]
And that is why
I'll confide in you the truth this time
That is why
I just can't go on and live this lie
[Coda]
And that is why
That is why
That is why
That is why
