I Hate You, I Believe in You

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.
