How Could I?

It’s time to turn a brand new leaf
And treat you as I should
It’s a wonder you’re still here with me
You didn’t leave when others would

How could I?
How could I?
Let it come to this?

How could I?
How could I?
Cause tears where there was bliss?

Remember when times were good?
What we felt then was the same
Before cold reason took my hand
And showed me how to blame

How could I?
How could I?
Let it come to this?

How could I?
How could I?
Cause tears where there was bliss?

And I don’t want to be with anyone
And I don’t want to love anyone
But you, only you

It’s all been said, the time has past
Are you ready to forgive?
No more neglect or recklessness
Just our happy lives to live

How could I?
How could I?
Let it come to this?

How could I?
How could I?
Cause tears where there was bliss?
