HOW COULD YOU

it started one night in a neighborhood bar
the sky was so dark, not even a star
this is my story, that i wanna tell
about this guy, that’s left me in hell

i sat at the bar, watchin’ out the window
awaiting a blind date who may leave me in limbo
i watched him emerge from his clean driven car
a bouquet in his hand, hoping it’s me they’re for
he presented the flowers and we sat down for dinner
after three glasses of wine i knew he was a winner

he acknowledged the same
and we started to frame
a life to be new
for him and me too

how could this miracle happen to me
i searched for a fella to be faithful to me
how could this miracle happen to me
a lifetime companion to share life with me

we traveled by car. we traveled by train
months of memories we began to obtain
everything perfect. there was no doubt
but suddenly he says he wants to back out

no clarification for his heartbreaking decisions
he cut into my body like a surgeon’s incisions
and now if must start all over again
as soon as my heart can rejuvinate and mend

how could you, how could you do this to me
i thought our relationship was forever to be
how could you, how could you do this to me
with no explanation and walk out on me

how could you, how could you do this to me
i thought our relationship was forever to be
how could you, how could you do this to me
with no explanation and walk out on me

how could you
how could you do this to me
how could you
how could you walk out on me
how could you walk out on me
