[Verse 1] You learned my coffee You know my friends by name You kept your distance Like it was some old game All of those birthdays You sent a quiet text Heard you were happy So I tried to forget [Chorus] Why now When my hands are finally steady Why now When my heart was getting ready For someone who Doesn’t wear your face somehow You could’ve called years ago So why now [Verse 2] You say you’re driving Outside my building door Laugh through the speaker Like it’s ’09 once more You say you’re leaving Everything that you knew Ask if I’m busy I’m busy getting over you [Chorus] Why now When my hands are finally steady Why now When my heart was getting ready For someone new Who doesn’t sound like you somehow You could’ve called years ago So why now [Bridge] Did you feel me letting go Is that what pulled you back Or did my silence Scare you into what you lack If this is real Then say it straight Don’t dress it up Don’t spin it ’round ’Cause I’ve rebuilt what you broke then I won’t burn it to the ground [Chorus] Why now When my hands are finally steady Why now When my heart was getting ready To live a life Where you were just a ghost in town You could’ve loved me then You know So why now So why now
