[Intro]
Oh, the nights get colder
In a heart that's grown so old
Haunted by your shadows
And the dreams we didn't hold
[Verse 1]
I hated you in silence, whispered truth
Buried deep in the back of my mind
Like a secret I kept, unrefined, unkind,
I hated your smile that left me blind
You moved on, painted life anew,
While I stood still, chasing ghosts of you
[Pre-Chorus]
Echoes of laughter in someone else's ear,
Memories turning sour, sharp as a spear
You built your dreams with a brand new slate,
While I bled love that you wouldn't reciprocate
[Chorus]
I hate that I love you, love that I hate,
Caught in this cycle, a tempest of fate
Craving your touch while I drown in my tears,
I hated you, my darling, for all of these years
[Verse 2]
Selfish desires dressed in gold,
Cars and pretty faces, empty, uncontrolled
But even in abundance, I felt the void,
Wanting your heart, feeling so destroyed
[Pre-Chorus]
Every corner I turn, your memory's there,
But I reach for the stars, and you're never near
The warmth that you gave, now chills to the bone,
Hated for moving on, hated for being alone
[Chorus]
I hate that I love you, love that I hate,
Caught in this cycle, a tempest of fate
Craving your touch while I drown in my tears,
I hated you, my darling, for all of these years
[Bridge]
Oh, I'm swirling in darkness, clenching my heart,
Every single moment tears me apart
I should've known, should've let you be,
But here I am, drowning in memories
[Outro]
I hated you for not hating me too,
For the love that you gave and the pain that is true
But maybe it's time to let go of the fight,
To embrace the shadows and search for the light.
