How could You walk when You went down that dusty street How could You speak when all your friends checked out How could You love after the great betrayal How could You reach out when they nailed You down
[Chorus:] True as true can be That's what they say You are to me when I'm so fake Does Your heart ache If I had been the one I would not have been that strong If I had been the one, yeah, I'd have been long gone
How could You hang on with Your mama crying How could You keep on breathing in and out How could You watch while Your whole world was dying Did it all happen cause we let You down
[Repeat Chorus]
And all the things we think of as eternal would come undone All I have to say is when I'm praying Is "Thank God I'm not the One"
