This Is Why Lyrics
[Verse 1]
If you have an opinion
Maybe you should shove it
Or maybe you could scream it
Might be best to keep it
[Pre-Chorus]
To yourself (To yourself)
To yourself (To yourself)
[Chorus]
This is why I don't leave the house
You say the coast is clear
But you won't catch me out
Oh, why?
This is why
[Verse 2]
Better have conviction
'Cause we want crimes of passion
Survival of the fittest
You're either with us or you can keep it
[Pre-Chorus]
To yourself (To yourself)
To yourself (To yourself)
To yourself, yourself, yourself
To yourself (To yourself)
[Chorus]
This is why I don't leave the house
You say the coast is clear
But you won't catch me out
Oh, why?
This is why
This is why I don't leave the house
You say the coast is clear
But you won't catch me out
Oh, why?
This is why
[Bridge]
One step beyond your door
It might as well have been a free fall
One step beyond your door
Falling down an endless hall
One step beyond your door
Might as well have been a free fall
One step beyond your door
And I'm floating like a cannonball
[Chorus]
This is why I don't leave the house
You say the coast is clear
But you won't catch me out
Oh, why?
This is why
This is why I don't leave the house
You say the coast is clear
But, oh no, you won't catch me out
Oh, why?
This is why

What did Paramore say about "This Is Why"?
Hayley Williams:
“This Is Why” was the very last song we wrote for the album. To be honest, I was so tired of writing lyrics but Taylor convinced Zac and I both that we should work on this last idea. What came out of it was the title track for the whole album.
It summarizes the plethora of ridicul...
What have the artists said about Brendan Yates directing the music video?
Hayley Williams:
It was so rad working with Brendan. I’ve known the Turnstile guys for a little while and was so psyched to have our worlds collide in this way. There’s a cool kinship between the way our bands do things… Hopefully we will get to play shows with them at some point.
