[Verse 1]
You said it soft
Like it meant nothing
Left me the bill
For your Sunday feelings
I held my breath
While you changed the story
Made a clean cut
Then called it “sorry”
[Pre-Chorus]
And I was there
With my hands wide open
You walked right through
Like I was broken
Now every little thing
You used to say
Cuts like glass
On a plate
[Chorus]
How could you, how could you
Say my name like that?
How could you, how could you
Then just take it back?
You hit my soft spot
Left a hard scar
How could you, how could you
Break me this far?
[Verse 2]
I read the signs
In your half-lit silence
You kept me close
Just to test the distance
Now I’m awake
And I’m seeing clear
You were never kind
You were just near
[Pre-Chorus]
And I was there
With my hands wide open
You walked right through
Like I was broken
Now every little thing
You used to say
Cuts like glass
On a plate
[Chorus]
How could you, how could you
Say my name like that?
How could you, how could you
Then just take it back?
You hit my soft spot
Left a hard scar
How could you, how could you
Break me this far?
[Bridge]
I don’t need your version
I don’t need your excuse
You keep calling it “love”
But it’s just abuse
I was tender
You were cruel
Now I’m done
Being your fool
[Final Chorus]
How could you, how could you
Say my name like that?
How could you, how could you
Then just take it back?
You hit my soft spot
Left a hard scar
How could you, how could you
Break me this far?
How could you, how could you
How could you?
