How Could Lyrics Meaning

[Verse 1]
The singer feels let down because the other person says sorry, but it doesn’t feel genuine. Things ended faster than expected, and it’s clear this isn’t the happy ending they might’ve hoped for. She’s shocked at how far things went wrong—this breakup wasn’t something either of them really wanted or saw coming.

[Pre-Chorus]
She’s saying everything she did for herself was also meant for him—like their lives were blended. Even the little things he liked have become part of her. But now that he’s decided to leave, she knows she can’t stop him. Once he made up his mind, there was no way she could win him back.

[Verse 2]
Now it feels like the time to let go has come. The mood between them is cold and distant, and she can feel it clearly in the space they share. She still can’t believe things got to this point and wishes she could just erase all their memories, everything about him.

[Bridge]
Maybe there was still a chance, and maybe she got caught up in his smile. She feels like she lost herself in it all. But now she’s tired of being treated so casually, and maybe, just maybe, this is how things were always going to end.

[Chorus]
Again, she reflects on how her efforts for herself were always tied to him, and how his favorite things became part of her. But she couldn’t hold on to him—he was already leaving. Once he made that decision, there was no way she could change his mind.
