Why Now?

[Verse 1] You came like dawn to my darkest night, Yet left me bleeding in your light. Why whisper love when I’m broken, bare? O faithless one, why haunt me here? [Pre-Chorus] You’re the cure that came too late, when my heart was slain— Why stoke the fire, then drown the flame? [Chorus] Why now, my love? Why now, my love? The hour’s gone, the stars weep above. You called my name when the storm grew wild— Why chase the ghost of the heart you exiled? [Verse 2] Our tomorrows died with yesterday’s sun, I’m here today—why beg for one? You took my youth, its sighs and song, Why tease the old with where they belong? [Pre-Chorus] These borrowed hours, like sand, slip away— Why wound the dreamer lost in your sway? [Chorus] Why now, my love? Why now, my love? The hour’s gone, the stars weep above. You called my name when the storm grew wild— Why chase the ghost of the heart you exiled? [Bridge] The sky unravels, lovers’ tears unspool— Why doesn’t this world shatter, cruel? If love’s a road, why walk it alone? Your shadow’s gone, yet I carve it in stone. [Outro] Why now, my love? The seasons forget— You’re the vow I ache to unregret. In the ruins of us, I whisper your name… Why fan the ashes of a dead flame?
