Why Would I Now?

Have I ever lost your way?

Have I ever left you waylaid?

Have I ever come unstaid?

Why would I now?

There were times I loathed your name

There were times I laid on blame

There were times I brought on shame

Why would I now?

But I will never be your familiar soul

And I will never see your interior whole

But have I ever stood back and watched you fall?

Ditched your call? Cut you? Been around?

Why would I now?

Have I ever steered you wrong?

Have I ever strung you along?

Have I ever kept you long?

Why would I now?

There were times I broke through the walls

There were times I broke through it all

There were times it felt so hard

Why would I now?

But I will never be your familiar soul

And I will never see your interior whole

But have I ever stood back and watched you fall?

Ditched your call? Or cut you? Been around?

Why would I now?

Though the years they may unbraid you

How it all nearly unmade, you laying down

Why would it now?

Remember when it all went dark

Remember when it first ran apart

Remember how I held my mark

So why wouldn't I now?

But I will never be your familiar soul

And I will never see your interior whole

But have I ever stood back and watched you fall?

Ditched your call? Or cut you? Been around?

Why would I now?
