How Could I Lyrics

How could I have done it?

How could I have left the only one

Who had ever loved me?

How could I have walked away that day

When you were everything I needed?

I'm the one that pleaded God

To go back in time

To when you were mine

When I'd never leave you

Back when we were ok…

How could I?

Why did I not stay?

I had to go my own way

But how could I?

How could I?

I planned my whole life with you babe

But it was myself I had to save

Oh how could I

Leave you when I promised you I'd be the one that stood by you forever

And when all was said and done

I'd thrown away two and a half years of being together

How could I have left the most

beautiful girl in the world

And one who knew everything about me?

Someone I would've loved for all of eternity

And I still do

That's what makes it tough

But after what I did

What I hid from you

Yeah we left it rough

And though we weren't together then

I said we'd spend a little time to work on ourselves

And while you did

I went off the rails and made mistakes that I regret

You would've come back and I fucked it

I blew our second chance

Now I'm waiting for the last

But maybe it has passed

How could I have done it?

How could I have left the only one

Who had ever loved me?

How could I have walked away that day

When you were everything I needed?

I'm the one that pleaded God

To go back in time

To when you were mine

When I'd never leave you

Back when we were ok

How could I?

Why did I not stay?

I had to go my own way

Oh how could I?

How could I?

I planned my whole life with you babe

But it was myself I had to save

Oh how could I

Without the one that was holding me together

Now I've messed it up so bad

I turned a maybe to a never

I promise I've changed now

And I'm trying to be better

I have tried to move on cause everyone's said

I should "forget her"

But how can I…

How can I forget the only one

Who had ever loved me?

How can I walk away today

When you were everything I needed?

I'm the one that pleaded God

To go back in time

To when you were mine

When I'd never leave you

I wish we were still ok

How could I?

Why did I not stay?

I had to go my own way

But how could I?

How could I?

I planned my whole life with you babe

But it was myself I had to save

Oh how could I…?

Ooooo…
