When Hayley said: "oh, my love, I lied to you. But I never needed to (...), you always knew the truth" I CRIED. THIS SONG IS SO BEAUTIFUL.

@ssmithstudios

The evolution of Paramore is beautiful. Growing up, staying true to the art of the music, so beautiful.

@Kyepha

That Crystal Clear reference just stabbed me in the heart, one of their most beautiful songs ❤

@anad8087

I'm not in love right now but imagining Hayley and Taylor slow dancing over their love after years of friendship is so healing.

@shiteyanyo1111

This song is so fucking beautiful. Why are we so scared of admitting we're in love? Being vulnerable is terrifying and this track nailed that feeling.

@SamYungOfficial

This is the most beautiful Paramore song ever for me. Just in awe of this record and what they’ve created. ‘This Is Why’ is an honest masterpiece 🥲❤️

@misfitmaik6213

Paramore is not just a band, it's a legacy, they defined and refined the genre, their sound on this record is full and quintessential

@kokoeds

it’s so beautiful how hayley is finally in a healthy relationship it was so heartwarming to hear her talk about this song in the zane lowe interview

@jareddavulture58

hayleys solo albums really unlocked something in her in my opinion. The maturirty alone in the lyrics of this album are amazing

@anlly_villa

Hayley's voice is so sweet here. The lyrics break your heart but it's a really beautiful song. Too deep. One of my favorites. ❤️

@keewee17

Hayleys voice is ethereal. I will forever be a paramore fan.

@k_dellz

‘This is Why’ is their most beautiful album to date. Is it missing the grunge songs that are in their discography? Well — the album isn’t missing anything actually. They’re moving forward — not trying to recreate their prior successes but add an entire new sound to their catalog. And my goodness does it pay off!!

@kennykenny5043

The amount of Radiohead inspiration this has gives me life

@chezbro98

"I got too good at fighting chemicals and dodging arrows I was asking for" really struck a chord in me... ugh Hayley's lyricism is unmatched ❤‍🔥❤‍🔥❤‍🔥

Lyrics:

What was the moment? It’s hard to say
I’m sure I don’t remember anyway
Before I only knew to hesitate
Pin back in the grenade
And all the ways I’d keep you safe
I keep you safe
From me

And, oh my love, I lied to you
But I never needed to
Oh my love, I lied to you
But you always knew the truth

I got too good at fighting chemicals
And dodging arrows I was asking for
Wading through the fog, and then it disappeared
Naked when I’m here
And why should I deny what’s all at once so crystal clear?
(And why should I deny what’s all at once so crystal clear?)

And, oh my love, I lied to you
But I never needed to
Oh my love, I lied to you
But you always knew the truth

Love is not an easy thing to admit
But I’m not ashamed of it
Love is not a weakening
If you feel it rushing in
Don’t be ashamed of it

Love is not an easy thing to admit
But I’m not ashamed of it
Love is not a weakening
If you feel it rushing in
Don’t be ashamed of it

And, oh my love, I lied to you
But I never needed to
Oh my love, I lied to you
But you always knew the truth

And, oh my love, I lied to you
But I never needed to
Oh my love, I lied to you
But you always knew the truth

@basictrash3219

Paramore is giving us 10 more years of life with this new album

@HPTFan

What a tender song. This reminds of myself, and my loved ones. We lie to each other. It hurts. Truth, Faith, and Love, is all we got.

@magicalflare9133

This song has such a 80s ballad vibe to it! Like it's already an anthem. So different from everything they've been doing. I love it!

@jorgealves7770

I don't know what's gotten into me, but I get so emotional listening to this song. As the Brazilian poet Ferreira Gullar would say "Art exists because life does not suffice".

@sherochafernando6346

The drums in this are just sublime! Those soft cymbal hits sound so crisp 😍
Can't wait to get home and play the whole album on the stereo.
