How Could You? Lyrics – Scandalous

I was but a young girl, barely seventeen
You asked me to believe in you, sight unseen
He was but a young man who followed where you willed him
And you led him to a cursed land
And by your hand, you killed him

How could you? How could you?
Is that what a faithful God would do?
How could you? Why would you?

What we did everything you asked us to
And now I have one thing to ask of you
How could you?

I am still a young girl, but pain has made me old
And this heart that was on fire has now grown cold
He made empty promises and never meant to keep them
He let us sow our seeds of faith
But never let us reap them

How could you?
How could you?
Is that what a loving God would do?
How could you? Why would you?
When we gave everything we had to you

From this moment on I'm through with listening to what you say
I'd have to hear you call me in a voice as loud as Doomsday
To ever follow you again, till then I'll live life my way
I'm through with you

How could you?
