how could you. Video (MV)

How could you?
How could you?

You said you knew what it was like
To have something taken from you
Against your will
To feel broken inside
To feel lost and confused
Damaged and used
You said you knew what it was like
And yet, knowing what you knew
The depth of my pain
The scars on my soul

You did the same thing to me
How could you?

You did the same thing to me
How could you?

How could you have done that?
How could you have continued on
While tears streamed down my face
I was nearly crushed by the shame
How could
How could you have found those wounds
And ripped them open, deeper?
Making sure they never healed
All for the sake of yourself?
How could you?

Spilled my heart out to you
For you to use as ammunition
Handed you the loaded gun
You shot without hesitation
I begged and pleaded
Only wanting to be loved
Threats and manipulations
Including that you'd not be alive
If I didn't do exactly what I was told
That I should sacrifice myself
In every way in the name of love

I destroyed myself trying to build you up
And still that wasn't enough
Nothing could ever be enough
How could you?
How could you do that to me?
And still claim to love me
How could you?

How could you have done that?
How could you have continued on
While tears streamed down my face
I was nearly crushed by the shame
How could you?
How could you have found those wounds
And ripped them open, deeper
Making sure they never healed
All for the sake of yourself?
How could you?

Even after I told you how much it hurt
You denied it all and blamed it on me
Told me that you didn't know it was wrong
That it's just what one does for love
Forced my mind elsewhere every time
That I felt your touch
That wasn't love

How could you?
How could you have done that?
How could you have continued on
While tears streamed down my face
And I was nearly crushed by the shame
How could you?

How could you?

How could you?
