Hard To Hate You

[Verse 1]
You hit play on your heartbreak
Same story every time
You turn me to your audience
Never ask about mine
You’re counting every compliment
Like they could fill your chest
But I was in the quiet part
You never read that text
[Pre-Chorus]
This isn’t about your numbers
Or strangers on your screen
I was right there in the front row
You never looked at me
[Chorus]
You failed to love me like I loved you
Left me talking to an empty room
I gave you truth
You gave me a preview
Of how it feels to be used
So why is it so hard to hate you?
Why do I still see the best in you?
You failed to love me like I loved you
Yet I can’t
I can’t erase you
[Verse 2]
You post another confession
To people you barely know
But when I tried to be honest
You were already gone
You say that you feel so lonely
While I’m right by your side
You never even noticed
How many times I tried
[Pre-Chorus]
This isn’t about your image
Or all that empty praise
I was there in every silence
You just turned up the play
[Chorus]
You failed to love me like I loved you
Left me talking to an empty room
I gave you truth
You gave me a preview
Of how it feels to be used
So why is it so hard to hate you?
Why do I still see the best in you?
You failed to love me like I loved you
Yet I can’t
I can’t erase you
[Bridge]
I replay every moment (every frame)
Searching for a reason
Someone to blame
You’re already dancing in a brand new light
I’m still here
Stuck in last night
[Chorus]
You failed to love me like I loved you
Left me talking to an empty room
I gave you truth
You gave me a preview
Of how it feels to be used
So why is it so hard to hate you?
Why do I still see the best in you?
You failed to love me like I loved you
Yet I can’t
I can’t erase you (erase you)

folk, Emotional EDM with airy pads and bright plucks building into a big, side-chained chorus; intimate, close-mic male vocals in the verses, then stacked, wide harmonies on the hook. Kick and snare hit clean and tight, synth lead carries a bittersweet topline over a lifting pre-drop; final chorus adds octave doubles and a soaring wordless vocal riff., edm
