Just Because Lyrics

[Verse 1]
We are, we are living our dream, we are
Singing our song, we are, just because
We know, we know we're carrying on, we'll be
Chasing the things we love, just because

[Pre-Chorus]
You are the sun
Happy out here alone
You don't need to feel it all
Just sing your song

[Chorus]
Sing your song
Just sing your song
Just sing your song
Just sing your song

[Verse 2]
Hello, hello, you're taking a chance, you know
And you can say you tried, just because
If you get it wrong, just laugh it off
You don't need to hide in the dark
We know, we know, it won't last

[Chorus]
Sing your song
Just sing your song
(Doesn't mean we want it too)
(Just because everybody does it)
Sing your song
(Doesn't mean we want it too)
(Just because everybody does it)
Just sing your song
(Doesn't mean that we need to)
[Post-Chorus]
Just because everybody does it
Doesn't mean we need to
Just because everybody wants it
Doesn't mean we want it too
Just because everybody's talking
We don't need to share
Just because is not enough
Just sing your song

[Bridge]
We are, we are
Whoever we say we are
We are what we try to do
We'll be what we want to be
We are, we are
Whoever we say we are
We are what we try to do
We'll do what we want to be

[Outro]
You're the sun, you're the sun, you're the sun
Happy out there alone
You don't need to hear it all
You don't need to see it all
Just sing your song
Just sing your song

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

What did Dido say about "Just Because"?
Genius Answer

On the press release that announced the deluxe edition of Still on My Mind, Dido explained the meaning behind the track:

An uplifting track with a really simple thought: be yourself, don’t bow to peer pressure or be afraid to go out on a limb, mess up or do things your own way. Be proud of who you are. I spent a lot of my life trying to fit in and it never worked anyway. This is about that.
