• Hozier - Why Would You Be Loved (Lyrics)

[Verse 1]
It's only said to be kind the time that you have with love
You're never told but you're loaned it
It's a lie, the high that you have with love
It feels like gold when you hold it
And know it's sweet, to know it when it's gone, baby
So why, why, why

[Chorus]
Why would you be lovin'
Why would you be lovin'
Why would you be lovin', hey
And, hey, why would you be loved
Mm, hey, why would you be loved

[Verse 2]
Now the world falls apart it starts with their actin' up
I wouldn't say it, but I blame them
The bleedin' hearts, the arts and that other stuff
All the same motivations will melt away
Like snowflakes on a tongue, baby
So why, why, why

[Chorus]
Why would you be lovin'
Why would you be lovin'
Why would you be lovin', hey
And, hey, why would you be loved
Mm, hey, why would you be loved
Mm, hey, why would you be loved
Mm, hey, why would you, why would you

[Refrain]
Why would you play it all on somethin' as hollow as trust? (Hey)
What if you gave it all, to find that it wasn't enough? (Hey)
What if under the gaze of all, you come short when the going gets rough?

[Chorus]
Why would you be lovin' (Hey)
Why would you be lovin' (Hey)
Why would you be lovin', hey (Hey)
And, hey, why would you be loved (Ah)
Mm, hey, why would you be loved (Ah)

[Verse 3]
They look for somethin' to be done for those that are most in pain
What about me and my achin'?
The scales rehung, the breakin' of yoke and chain
What about me and my breakin'?
And if you ain't for all, how could you try at all, baby?
So why, why, why

[Chorus]
Why would you be lovin'
Why would you be lovin'
Why would you be lovin', hey
And, hey, why would you be loved
Mm, hey, why would you be loved
Mm, hey, why would you be loved
Mm, hey, why would you, why would you

[Refrain]
Why would you play it all on somethin' as hollow as trust? (Hey)
What if you gave it all, to find that it wasn't enough? (Hey)
What if under the gaze of all, you come short when the going gets rough?

[Chorus]
Why would you be lovin' (Hey)
Why would you be lovin' (Hey)
Why would you be lovin', hey (Hey)
And, hey, why would you be loved (Ah)
Mm, hey, why would you be loved (Ah)
Why would you be lovin' (Hey)
Why would you be lovin' (Hey)
Why would you be lovin', hey (Hey)
And, hey, why would you be loved (Ah)
Mm, hey, why would you be loved (Ah)
Mm, hey, why would you be loved (Ah)
Mm, hey, why would you be loved (Ah)
