Why Now lyrics

[Verse 1]
Somewhere off in a distant dream
You were long ago like a memory
Now you're back standing here
Sayin' all the words you think I want to hear

[Pre-Chorus]
Did you finally realize what I knew all along?
That you never needed me until I was gone

[Chorus]
Why now should I turn my life around
Just to let you bring me down another time?
Oh, why now after all the years apart
Should I open up my heart and let you in my life again?
Why now, baby?

[Verse 2]
Everything that I tried to forget
Thought I left behind, guess it ain't over yet
And baby, it's almost worth all the pain
Just to look in your eyes and hold you again

[Pre-Chorus]
But you never realized how much I tried
To let you know what I was feeling inside
[Chorus]
Why now should I turn my life around
Just to let you bring me down another time?
Oh, why now after all the years apart
Should I open up my heart and let you in my life again?

[Post-Chorus]
Hold on 'cause it's starting all over
Hold on 'cause it won't be the same
Hold on, letting go would be better
Letting go of the pain

[Bridge]
How did you think I would be
Waiting for you for an eternity?

[Instrumental Break]

[Pre-Chorus]
Hold on 'cause it's starting all over
Hold on 'cause it won't be the same
Hold on, letting go would be better
Letting go of the pain

[Chorus]
Why now should I turn my life around
Just to let you bring me down another time?
Oh, why now after all the years apart
Should I open up my heart and let you in my life again?
[Outro]
Why now? Oh
Why now? Oh
