The Decemberists - Why Would I Now? lyrics

[The Decemberists - Why Would I Now? lyrics]

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?
