This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
Hey
Ohh, yeah
How could the one I gave my heart to
Break my heart so bad?
How could the one who made me happy
Make me feel so sad?
Won't somebody tell me
So I can understand?
If you love me
How could you hurt me like that?
How could the one I gave my world to
Throw my world away?
How could the one who said, "I love you"
Say the things you say?
How could the one I was so true to
Just tell me lies?
How could the one I gave my heart to
Break this heart of mine? Tell me
How could you be so cold to me
When I gave you everything?
All my love, all I had inside
How could you just walk out the door?
How could you not love me anymore?
I thought we had forever, I can't understand
How could the one I shared my dreams with
Take my dreams from me?
How could the love that brought such pleasure
Bring such misery?
Won't somebody tell me
Somebody tell me please
If you love me
How could you do that to me?
Tell me
Hey
How could you just walk out the door?
How could you not love me anymore?
I thought we had forever, I can't understand
(How could the one) how could the one I gave my heart to
Break my heart so bad? (Break my heart, oh)
How could the one who made me happy (you made me so happy)
Make me feel so sad? (You made me feel so sad)
Won't somebody tell me? (Won't they tell me)
So I can understand (so I can understand)
If you love me, how could you hurt me like that? (How do you hurt me? Oh)
The one I gave my world to
Throw my world away? (Throw my world away)
How could the one who said, "I love you" (you said you loved me)
Say the things you say? (Do you really love me)
How could the one I was so true to
Just tell me lies? (You told me lies, baby)
How could the one I gave my heart to
How could the one I gave my heart to, ooh
How could the one I gave my heart to
Break this heart of mine, tell me?
Ohh, yeah
How could the one I gave my heart to
Break my heart so bad?
How could the one who made me happy
Make me feel so sad?

Throw my world away?
How could the one who said, "I love you"

When I gave you everything?
All my love, all I had inside
How could you just walk out the door?
