Nobody asked me why

Nobody asked me why lyrics

Verse 1

I kept my own counsel
Kept my shoes on the floor
Took the long way home
Then took the long way more
You saw the suitcase
You saw the grin
Didn’t ask for the reasons
And I like it like that

Pre-Chorus

No long speech
No neat little case
Just a new name
On a different face
I let the door swing
I let the old life pass
Funny how peace
Can sound like jazz

Chorus

Nobody asked me why
(nobody asked me why)
Nobody asked me why
(nobody asked me why)
I just changed my life
And the room said, “fine”
Nobody asked me why
(nobody asked me why)

Verse 2

I stopped saying sorry
For what I outgrew
Stopped making small talk
About what wasn’t true
Some folks need a headline
Some folks need a plan
I needed my own hands
And a little more air

Pre-Chorus

No long speech
No neat little case
Just a new name
On a different face
I let the door swing
I let the old life pass
Funny how peace
Can sound like jazz

Chorus

Nobody asked me why
(nobody asked me why)
Nobody asked me why
(nobody asked me why)
I just changed my life
And the room said, “fine”
Nobody asked me why
(nobody asked me why)

Bridge

Maybe that’s the whole trick
Don’t make it a trial
Walk out clean
Smile a while
No big confession
No brave parade
Just a woman knowing
What she can trade

Nobody asked me why
(nobody asked me why)
Nobody asked me why
(nobody asked me why)
I just changed my life
And the room said, “fine”
Nobody asked me why
(nobody asked me why)

Outro

And I didn’t need
To explain a thing
No, I didn’t need
To explain a thing
