How Could You
Mario Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
How I remember things (like where you came from and how you had nothin)
I went and made you fly,
Put extras on your ride, (didn't miss a birthday now you can't even remember mine)
You made it clear to me (you wasn't down for me),
(I may be blind baby) but now I see,
(You had things up your sleeve, don't even lie to me)
How could you let somebody lay where I laid?
How could you give him everything that we made?
How could you call him all the names that you used to call me?
How could you, how could you just forget about me?
How could you teach him all the things I thought you?
How could you put him up to the ghetto kama sutra?
How could you put me in the back and give him the front seat?
How could you, how could you just forget about me?
You must be out your mind,
You got a lot of nerve
(To think that I'm gon chill after all that shit I heard),
I damn near carried you,
I could've married you,
Good thing I found out before I bought that seven carat for you,
(I know you're sick about) the way I found you out,
(Go ahead and pack it out)
I hope he got romance in his house,
You should have thought of me before you hopped in the sheets,
Damn I can't believe that you did this to me
How could you let somebody lay where I laid?
How could you give him everything that we made?
How could you call him all the names that you used to call me?
How could you, how could you just forget about me?
How could you teach him all the things I thought you?
How could you put him up to the ghetto kama sutra?
How could you put me in the back and give him the front seat?
How could you, how could you just forget about me?
Girl I tried to give you everything,
Can't believe the ways you repaid me,
Girl you had it all,
But I guess my all wasn't good enough for you,
Baby I've accepted it,
And I ain't goin' trip,
Girl I'm movin' on,
Sometimes I give up and think that another man's gonna get the one that's in for me
How could you let somebody lay where I laid?
How could you give him everything that we made?
How could you call him all the names that you used to call me?
How could you, how could you just forget about me?
How could you teach him all the things I thought you?
How could you put him up to the ghetto kama sutra?
How could you put me in the back and give him the front seat?
How could you, how could you just forget about me?
How could you how could you just go and lay there,
How could you how could just give him everything,
How could you how could you call him names like that,
How could you babe?
How could you babe?
How could you how could you teach him everything?
How could you how could you put him to the ghetto kama sutra?
In "How Could You" by Mario, the singer expresses his disbelief and heartbreak over his partner's betrayal. He reminisces on how he helped bring her to success and gave her everything she now has, only to have her forget about him and give everything they built together to someone else. The lyrics are raw with emotion as the singer grapples with the shock of realizing he was played and is left alone to pick up the pieces of his broken heart. The lines "How could you let somebody lay where I laid?/ How could you give him everything that we made?" speak to the ultimate betrayal of infidelity and the pain of feeling replaced and forgotten.
The singer puts his heart on display in the chorus as he questions how his partner could forget about him and everything they shared. He also remarks on the hurtful and disrespectful things she said to him and how she failed to show the same level of care and attention he provided. Lines like "How could you put me in the back and give him the front seat?" highlight the power dynamic shift that occurs when a partner cheats and how it can feel like the ultimate disrespect.
The final verse of the song sees the singer coming to terms with his heartbreak and deciding to move on. He acknowledges that he gave his all and did everything he could to make the relationship work, but ultimately it wasn't enough. The song ends with him acknowledging that he can't control who his ex-partner chooses to be with, but he can choose to focus on his own healing and finding happiness again.

You made it clear to me (you wasn't down for me), (I may be blind baby) but now I see, (You had things up your sleeve, don't even lie to me) I even heard it from your family,

I am still trying to understand how you could do all those things to me and without any regards.

It's incomprehensible to me why you would teach someone else all the intimacy we shared, and even worse, make it public.
