Last week you were back in the apartment
With tears running down your face
And you told me you’ve never been quite so broken hearted
But it’s better off if we just get some space
And I first I understood you
I thought that time would heal all wounds
But I saw you last night with some guy in your arms
You never told me that we were through
And now I’m torn up, haven’t slept in days
Thought you still cared, but you’re so unfazed
How could you be OK?
I’m a mess how you left me a wreck
While your heart don’t even ache
How could you be OK?
I’m a mess damn you couldn’t care less
Guess I’m easy to replace
How could you be so heartless?
You’re heartless
But my heart still beats the same
How could you be OK?
Oh, how could you be OK?
Oh, how could you be OK?
You went and thrown me the river
To be with the next guy you found
I was too busy building a house for us to live
For you to go and tear it down
And now I’m torn up, haven’t slept in days
Thought you still cared, but you’re so unfazed
How could you be OK?
I’m a mess how you left me a wreck
While your heart don’t even ache
How could you be OK?
I’m a mess damn you couldn’t care less
Guess I’m easy to replace
How could you be so heartless?
You’re heartless
But my heart still beats the same
How could you be OK?
Oh, how could you be OK?
Oh, how could you be OK?
I’m torn up and you’ve broken my heart once again
I’m frozen and you hurt me and I’ll never love again
How could you be OK?
I’m a mess how you left me a wreck
But your heart don’t even ache
I’m a mess damn you couldn’t care less
Guess I’m easy to replace
How could you be so heartless?
You’re heartless
But my heart still beats the same
How could you be OK?
Oh, how could you be OK?
Oh, how could you be OK?
