[Verse 1]

I pulled myself from what was left of that beater’s frame

I scratched the VIN and I ripped off the license plate

I poured some gasoline on top to cover up my shame

I watched the two things I loved most go up in flames

Sunburnt tongues, the songs they’d sung

Spat out, spit, and twisted up

Saltwater, foam, a sea of grief

They spat out blood and broken teeth

[Pre-Chorus]

The way

She used to say my name

The way

The light shined off her face

And I screamed

I looked for someone to blame

And I screamed

And I screamed

[Chorus]

How could you?

How could you?

How could you take her from me?

You coward

I’ll kill you

I’ll make you wish you never lived

I reached outward in shame

I looked for someone to blame

But there was no one to find

Just the devil and I

[Verse 2]

I woke up in my room the next day and I was alive

Sick and sober

Without you by my side and on the radio

Last night on road 25

A car was found with a woman inside

Fractured spine and paralyzed

Set on fire and left to die

[Chorus]

How could you?

How could you?

How could you take her from me?

You coward

I’ll kill you

I’ll make you wish you never lived

I reached outward in shame

I looked for someone to blame

But there was no one to find

Just the devil and I

[Chorus]

How could you?

How could you?

You coward

I’ll kill you

I’ll make you wish you never lived

I reached outward in shame

I looked for someone to blame

But there was no one to find

Just the devil and I
