Lyrics
How could you lie to my face, telling me just what I want to hear
Expressing betrayal and disappointment in someone who lied with pleasing words.
How could you sign up for our love, just to up and disappear
Questioning the sincerity of commitment in a relationship that ended abruptly.
How could you dive in the deep end, just to pull me down in a sea of fear
Metaphorically describing the emotional depth of betrayal, feeling submerged in fear.
How could you lead me on, string me along, when you knew that the end was near
Accusing the person of leading the speaker on, despite knowing the relationship's imminent end.
How could you, how could you, how could you
Repetition emphasizing the disbelief and shock at the actions of the person.
How could you, how could you, how could you
-Seems like I've been out of touch with so much
Feeling disconnected from reality or others, possibly due to emotional distress.
Deemed unstable, hands shaking, filling up two cups
Describing emotional instability, physically manifested through shaky hands and excessive drinking.
She look me in the eyes, say she's had enough
Describing a moment of confrontation where the partner expresses dissatisfaction.
Voices in my head tell me just give up
Internal struggle depicted with conflicting thoughts, considering giving up.
I pray for help, but nothing helps us
Expressing a sense of hopelessness despite praying for help.
No, nothing helps us
-So I turn to the drugs
Turning to drugs as a coping mechanism in response to the emotional pain.
I pray for better days, but nothing helps us
Expressing continued prayer for improvement but feeling no positive change.
No, nothing helps us
-So we get fucked up
Turning to substance abuse to escape reality and emotional pain.
How could you lie to my face, telling me just what I want to hear

How could you sign up for our love, just to up and disappear

-I stay to myself, strung off, I can't ease up
Describing isolation and emotional struggle, unable to find relief.
I need more drugs, more love
Expressing a need for more substance and love to cope with emotional pain.
My heart hurts, mind telling me to run
Physical and emotional pain causing a desire to escape or run away.
Start to fall apart in the meantime
Describing a gradual emotional breakdown.
I hit up the plug, got em on speed dial
Seeking refuge in drugs, experiencing a heightened state without coming down.
Buggin and I'm buzzin, I get high, won't come down
-Anxiety attack to my chest, I can't calm down

God, I can't breathe now, please let me cry out
