Verse 1:
You light a match and call it love,
You watch me burn and say it’s growth.
I wear my pain like war paint now,
And you just smile — you swear you meant it somehow.
Pre-Chorus:
I scream your name into the static,
Every echo feels prophetic.
Chorus:
I hate you — no, I believe in you,
Because your lies taught me the truth.
You built me up just to break me down,
But I’m still louder than your sound.
Verse 2:
Your shadow’s crawling through my veins,
Half of me wants peace, half wants flames.
I’m the saint and the sinner you made,
Praying for silence while I crave the blade.
Pre-Chorus:
All your words — like broken glass,
I bleed out beauty as they pass.
Chorus:
I hate you — I believe in you,
Because your chaos pulled me through.
I’m standing tall in the wreck you drew,
I hate you — and I still believe in you.
Bridge:
I’m not your ghost, I’m not your cure,
But I’ve never been this sure —
That hate and hope can share a heart,
And that’s how healing starts.
Outro:
I hate you — I believe in you,
And maybe that’s what love can do.
