Why Would I Now?

Have I ever lost your way?
 Have I ever left you waylaid?
 Have I ever come unstayed?
 Why would I now?
 There were times I loathed your name
 There were times I laid on the blame
 There were times I brought on shame
 But why would I now?
 For I will never be your familiar soul
 And I will never see your imperial hold
 But have I ever stood back
 And watched you fall?
 Or ditched your call?
 Or caught you bent 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
 But why would I now?
 For I will never be your familiar soul
 And I will never see your imperial hold
 But have I ever stood back
 And watched you fall?
 Or ditched your call?
 Or caught you bent around?
 Why would I now?
 Though the years they may up-raid you
 How it all nearly unmade you, laying down
 Why would it now?
 Remember when it all went dark
 Remember went it first rent apart
 Remember how I held my mark
 So why wouldn't I now?
 For I will never be your familiar soul
 And I will never see your imperial hold
 But have I ever stood back
 And watched you fall?
 Or ditched your call?
 Or caught you bent around?
 Why would I now?
