[Verse 1]
There's an alternate meaning
Behind the words you spoke
I can hear that now
Well, I know he wants you back
But I don't wanna let you go
Can you feel that?
It's tight enough to choke
[Chorus]
How could you say a thing like that?
How could you say a thing like that?
I look to your face and see
It's telling me there's no retort
And the things I thought
Are coming true due to your cruel ways
[Verse 2]
Now we sleep in separate rooms
I talk to walls instead of you
Can you hear me? No?
I'm combining luck and chance
Hoping for you sideways glance
So I can see you
You laugh but there's no joke
[Chorus]
How could you say a thing like that?
How could you say a thing like that?
I look to your face and see
It's telling me there's no retort
And the things I thought
Are coming true due to your cruel ways
[Bridge]
There's an alternate meaning
Behind the words you spoke
I can hear that now
I'm combining luck and chance
Hoping for you sideways glance
So I can see you
You laugh but there's no joke
[Chorus]
How could you say a thing like that?
How could you say a thing like that?
I look to your face and see
It's telling me there's no retort
And the things I thought
Are coming true due to your cruel ways
True due to your cruel ways
