Why Without You by Daniel Johnston Lyrics

Why-yy-yy am I doin’ here?
Why-yy-yy are you here too?
And what would life mean without you?
And why are you so beautiful?

Why-yy do the stars shine bright?
And it ain’t even night
And what does a girl like you see in me?
And why-yy are you so pretty?

Why-yy-yy-yy-yy?
Why-yy-yy-yy-yy?
Why did you do what you did?
Why you had a man
Now you have a kid?
And why do I ask such silly questions?
Why-yy-yy don’t I kill myself
Why-yy-yy don’t I kill myself

The time has come and I’ve learned all about you
Now that I’m alone I live without you
Without you I take the day-to-day of living in my life
But I guess you had your way you got him, you’re his wife
So goodbye!
I could have settled down and lived forever with you
Shared the same bed and have a dozen kids with you
With a swing in the backyard with plastic ducks
With a porch in the front yard with a mailbox with our name on it
But without you I can’t have any of these things

Without you I take the day-to-day of living in my life
But now I have to say I did want you for my wife
So goodbye!

Why-yy can’t I see the end
All I see is the beginning
Playing over and over in my mind
You once seemed like a possibility

Why-yy do dreams like that die?
Why-yy? I ask you why?
Black are the skies that once were blue
Why-yy do I grieve over you?
