Songs Not For Me 3

4. How Could You

This next song is for Bebe Rexha, I wrote it with her in mind as it has a very pop tone to it. I love Bebe, I just love the idea of a songwriter who wrote songs for big artists deciding to make a name for themselves. I think her work is incredible. I wrote this almost a year ago now, with a few updated last minute touches. To anyone reading this who's had a relationship or a whatever this was situation that ended leaving you feeling like you loved them more than they loved you, (wow mouthful I know), I hope you realize that the love you gave or are still giving isn't worth it. You deserve someone as crazy about you as you are about them. Instead of giving so much love to someone so undeserving of it, give it to yourself. For that is the greatest love of all lol. Anyway this one's for the lovely Bebe.

"How Could You"

Verse
Before,
You held / me in / your hands
You had / me at / your grasp
You let / me down / at last
At last

Before,
You left / me hangin' / on
You let / me get / this wrong
Now I'm / done after all
At last

I should've known
You'd love me never / whether you meant it forever

Now you should know
I loved you better / though we're no longer together

Chorus
'Cause baby before
You loved me / I loved you right back
Love so good / I loved you so bad
I loved you / with all that I had

So how could / you play me
Like that

Verse
Before,
You held / me in / your trance
You had / me at / first glance
You left / me in / your past
Your past

Now,
I'm strong / though I still / think about you
I used to think it / now I know / I'm better off without you
You're long gone, I wasn't wrong
About you

I should've known
I'd love you better / whether you meant it if ever

You should know
I'd love you never / whether we're meant to be together

Chorus
'Cause baby before
You loved me / I loved you right back
Love so good / I loved you so bad
I loved you / with all that I had

So how could / you play me / like that

I loved us / our love was so good
I loved you like / no one else could
I loved you / with all that I had

So how could / you play me / like that

Bridge
You pushed me off the curb
Passed the point of no return
I loved you till it hurt
I guess I get what I deserve

Chorus
Baby before
You loved me / I loved you right back
Love so good / I loved you so bad
I loved you / with all that I had

So how could / you play me / like that

I saw you / I never looked back
I loved all / your good and your bad
I loved you / with all that I had

So how could you play me like that
