How Could You

Miley Cyrus · Other Songs - Miley Cyrus

I stand here thinking of what could have been

What could have been was ruined so badly again

You just dont know how much i care

And now its time for you to see

chorus

whyd you do that?

why arent you sorry?

how can you go on?

do you know how much it kills me inside to see the fire in your eyes?

how could you?

I dont know what you were thinking

when you said to me

we are through

well

its your loss

your not the boss

of me

chorus

whyd you do that?



why arent you sorry?

how can you go on?

do you know how much it kills me inside to see the fire in your eyes?

how could you?

I cant believe i saw you with her

the very next day

you bounce back so fast

its like i got played

do you know how

sad i am

to see you with her, my best friend

chorus

whyd you do that?

why arent you sorry?

how can you gon on?

do you know how much it kills me inside to see the fire in your eyes?

how could you?

how could you?

tell me

how could you?
