Verse 1
Bro, you see me now? My bullshit is over
I've struggled for so long, you call it luck
Told me 'Grind!', like 'Get a girl'
I'm going to make it, but I don't know how
You don't know how, but trust me I do
I've said a lot of things I completely regretted
I've suppressed my anxiety, been so f*cked up
We'll make it together, we're playing a game
What do you mean game? What's in your head?
All the fake medals, I thought we were two halves
Bro you missed that detail
What detail? Bro, I do everything
Will you forget everything I've said?
'We're gonna be big' is just talk
You don't give a sh*t about me and you don't give a sh*t about anything
Chorus 1
How can you say things?
How can you lie awake at night?
You don't know me that way, huh?
None of the darkest places
'Cause I regret all those promises
That we made, that we've written in the lyrics
'Cause that's our problem
I'd never admit it
Verse 2
I do what I want, I promise you that
He talks about getting help for his problems
What problems when his brain is f*cked up?
If he only knew, he would see
He needs to calm down now
There's no me and you
Took everything there was, took almost everything
He'll soon burn his last chance
Don't know what he's said, don't believe everything
He lies so much his brain is
We used to hang, the bond was strong
I believed in him, I believed in everything
A role model forever
Traded it away for a piece of hash
Threw it away, man
Should've never ever said sh*t
Chorus 2
How can you say things?
How can you lie awake at night?
You don't know me that way, huh?
None of the darkest places
'Cause I regret all those promises
That we made, that we've written in the lyrics
'Cause that's our problem
I'd never admit it
Bridge 1
Do you remember all the things we said?
'If you jump, I jump.'
Are you like even in my life?
We talk sometimes and we know how it gets
Do I remember? Of course I remember
A big part of me will always be yours
Am I here? I'm standing here
But now I'm going my own way
For things, things I've said that have kept me awake
Words I've regretted, I left them behind
Everything under the surface, we should just deal with it
Do you remember like I remember?
Or miss it like I do?
'Cause I think about you often and I just want to go back
Chorus 3
How can you say things?
How can you lie awake at night?
You don't know me that way, huh?
None of the darkest places
'Cause I regret all those promises
That we made, that we've written in the lyrics
'Cause that's our problem
I'd never admit it
Outro 1
How can you say things?
If we walk together, everything will go right
But how can you say things?
Back to the question that's like always been asked
Outro 2
But how can you say things?
We're talking about the tears that were never shed
How can you say things?
How can you say things?
How can you say things?
Chorus 4
How can you lie awake at night?
You don't know me that way, huh?
None of the darkest places
'Cause I regret all those promises
That we made, that we've written in the lyrics
'Cause that's our problem
I'd never admit it

FörebildRole model

Förebild translates directly to "role model" or "exemplar". It's a powerful and positive word that stands out in a song often dealing with betrayal and disappointment.

In the lyrics, the speaker reflects on someone who was a "förebild för alltid" (a role model forever) but then changed, highlighting a deep sense of loss and disillusionment. This word captures a central theme of the song's emotional conflict.

Ever had a friend say something that completely broke your trust? Swedish group Hov1 dives deep into that feeling with their emotional track, "Hur Kan Du Säga Saker," which translates to "How Can You Say Things." The song is a powerful conversation, possibly between two old friends or bandmates, whose bond is falling apart. It explores the pain of broken promises and the struggle of growing in different directions.

The lyrics are filled with regret and confusion. One person feels their hard work is being dismissed as just "luck," while the other feels betrayed by empty words. They look back on their shared past, remembering promises like, "If you jump, I jump," and wonder how things went so wrong. It’s a relatable story about how difficult it can be when the people closest to you don't understand you anymore, leaving you to ask, "How could you say those things?"
