How Could You?

You looked me straight in the eye Held my hand while you wrote to her Let me paint a future bright While you were smearing it into blur You stood beside me, slept beside me But you were never really there You were in her arms, in her world Slipping further like you never cared How dare you? How could you? Every note, every chord— I hope it rips like the wreckage you scored! How dare you? How could you? Every line, every song— I hope it drowns you where you don’t belong! Told me you needed time to breathe But you were gasping in someone else’s sheets Every midnight call, every swallowed lie While I was burning, blind by your side You stood beside me, slept beside me But you were never really there You were in her arms, in her world And I was the fool still standing here How dare you? How could you? Every note, every chord— I hope it rips like the wreckage you scored! How dare you? How could you? Every line, every song— I hope it drowns you where you don’t belong! Tell me—does she hear the same rehearsed lines? Do you pretend like you never had a past? Does she know how you rewrite history? Or is she still standing, thinking this will last? How dare you? How could you? Every word, every breath— I hope it stings when there’s nothing left! How dare you? How could you? Every note, every song— I hope it drowns you where you don’t belong! How dare you? How could you? How dare you? How could you?
