[Verse1]
You tore me down
Right from the start
Never knew a fall could hit this hard
Late nights awake
Eyes wide in shock
Found your pictures with someone else up on your block
Broke all my rules, saw all the flaws
Chose to see the good I worried I could be wrong
[Chorus1]
When I knew I was right, yet chose to love you more
But I was blind, ran outta tears the days you made me cry
I healed your heart and you still got to break mine
So don't wonder how we died, don't wonder how we died
You tore me apart to feel alive, so don't wonder how we died
[Verse2]
Out having fun
Trynna please everyone
Finding time to play games
But for me you've got none
You left me cold
Weeks turn to mold
Now I watch the world we built
Crumble to dust
And all of your friends, a bad influence
Soon you'll realize the damage they've done
[Chorus2]
I knew I was right, yet chose to love you more
But I was blind, ran outta tears the days you made me cry
I healed your heart and you still got to break mine
So don't wonder how we died, don't wonder how we died
You tore me apart to feel alive, so don't wonder how we died
[Bridge]
I'll never be the same, I was used, abused
I'll never be the same, after you
[Chorus3]
And I knew I was right, yet chose to love you more
But I was blind, ran outta tears the days you made me cry
I healed your heart and you still got to break mine
So don't wonder how we died, don't wonder how we died
You tore me apart to feel alive, so don't wonder how we died
