Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You wore my name like a bruise
On the inside of your mouth
I kept the door half-open
Just to let the wrong love out
I saw the warning in your eyes
Still I leaned in close to see
Funny how a red flag
Can look like mercy to me
[Pre-Chorus]
And I knew, I knew
This would hurt
But your hands had a way
Of making it worse
I said stay
You said maybe
Now I'm standing here
Missing what broke me
[Chorus]
I hated me to love you
I hated me to love you
(I hated me to love you)
I love me to have you
I love me to have you
(I love me to have you)
You were poison in a pretty dress
I was the girl who still said yes
I hated me to love you
And loved me to lose you
[Verse 2]
Now your jacket's on my chair
Like a ghost with good intentions
I keep finding your old voice
In the corners of my reflection
Every lie you left behind
Still knows how to say my name
But I’m learning how to miss you
Without bleeding out the same
[Pre-Chorus]
And I knew, I knew
What you'd be
A beautiful bruise
On my memory
I said stay
You said maybe
Now I'm standing here
Missing what broke me
[Chorus]
I hated me to love you
I hated me to love you
(I hated me to love you)
I love me to have you
I love me to have you
(I love me to have you)
You were poison in a pretty dress
I was the girl who still said yes
I hated me to love you
And loved me to lose you
[Bridge]
If I touch that ache, I wake it up
If I call your name, it’s not enough
I was your almost, your soft regret
But I’m not begging for the knife again
No more ash in my perfume
No more your shadow in my room
I can miss you and still be done
I can let go and still feel young
[Final Chorus]
I hated me to love you
I hated me to love you
(I hated me to love you)
I love me to have you
I love me to have you
(I love me to have you)
You were poison in a pretty dress
I was the girl who still said yes
I hated me to love you
Now I love me more than you
