Verse 1 I saw her name. I saw the messages. I saw the way you saved her in your phone. Not some mistake. Not some drunken night. You built yourself a whole damn life I didn't know. And you came home Like nothing happened. Put your coat down, asked me how my day had been. You kissed my forehead. God, I hate that part. Because I can still feel your mouth against my skin. You looked me dead in the eyes And told me you loved me. How the hell did you do that? How could you look at me And lie so easily? Pre-Chorus Don't say you lost your way. Don't say you never meant to hurt me. You had a thousand chances To tell the truth. You chose her. You chose the lie. You chose to come home to me With her still on you. Chorus HOW DARE YOU SAY YOU LOVE ME? HOW DARE YOU SAY HER NAME WAS NOTHING? HOW DARE YOU TOUCH ME WITH THE SAME TWO HANDS THAT WERE HOLDING SOMEBODY ELSE? I GAVE YOU MY WHOLE LIFE, YOU SON OF A I GAVE YOU EVERY DAMN THING I HAD! And you threw it away for a little excitement Then came home and called me your wife. Don't you cry to me now. Don't you fall at my feet. You should've thought about losing me Before you climbed into her sheets. Verse 2 I hate her. I hate myself for saying that. Because she didn't make those vows. You did. But I picture her Sitting in your car, Laughing at the jokes you used to tell me. And I wonder if she knows You snore when you're drunk. If she knows you hate cold coffee. If she knows the man she's sleeping with Is the man who destroyed me. Did you tell her about our kitchen? Did you tell her about the night I almost left? Did you tell her I stayed because I loved you? Or did you make yourself the victim again? Pre-Chorus Don't you dare say you were lonely. I was right there. Don't you dare say we were broken. You never tried to repair it. You didn't fall into her arms. You walked. Chorus HOW DARE YOU SAY YOU LOVE ME? HOW DARE YOU SAY YOU JUST GOT LOST? YOU KNEW EXACTLY WHAT YOU WERE DOING YOU JUST DIDN'T THINK I'D FIND OUT. I GAVE YOU MY WHOLE LIFE, YOU SON OF A I GAVE YOU EVERY DAMN THING I HAD! And you threw it away for a little excitement Then came home and crawled into our bed. Don't you cry to me now. Don't you reach for my hand. You don't get to break my heart Then ask me to understand. Bridge quiet, shaking with anger You know what makes me sick? I defended you. When people said you'd changed, I defended you. When you stopped touching me, I blamed myself. When you started coming home late, I made excuses for you. When my gut screamed, I told myself I was paranoid. And all that time... You knew. You knew what you were doing to me. Music drops one piano chord So don't stand there And tell me you're sorry. Because sorry is what you say When you spill wine on the carpet. You don't say sorry When you burn someone's whole life down. Final Chorus full band, screamed/sung HOW DARE YOU SAY YOU LOVE ME! HOW DARE YOU SAY YOU'RE SORRY! YOU DON'T GET TO BE THE BROKEN ONE WHEN YOU'RE THE ONE WHO BROKE ME! I GAVE YOU MY YOUTH! I GAVE YOU MY TRUST! I GAVE YOU A HOME! AND YOU GAVE ME HER! SO TAKE YOUR RING! TAKE YOUR CLOTHES! TAKE EVERY FUCKING MEMORY! I DON'T WANT A DAMN THING FROM YOU EXCEPT FOR THE TRUTH YOU STOLE FROM ME! You wanted her? GO! You wanted freedom? GO! You wanted a life without me? THEN GO LIVE IT! BUT DON'T YOU EVER COME BACK AND ASK ME TO FORGIVE YOU! Outro voice breaking, piano alone I loved you. That's what makes me so angry. I really, really loved you. And you knew it. You knew exactly how much I loved you... And you did it anyway.
