[Verse 1]
He said
"Whatever"
Black nails
Headphones
Head down in class
Heart full of storms and scribbled bad poems
You laughed too loud when he walked past
You said
"So tragic"
Pink gloss
Low-rise
Dead in the eyes
He rolled his own
Called you plastic
You called him "phase" under your sighs
[Pre-Chorus]
Same bus
Same stop
Both staring out
Both burning up
Same hurt
Same rot
Two loaded mouths that never shut
[Chorus]
I hate you
I hate you
Then I taste you on my tongue (oh)
We crash like we’re fatal
But I’m breathing when we’re done
You’re poison on my pretty lips
I’m bleeding on your bedroom sheets
I hate you
I hate you
But you’re everything I need
[Verse 2]
He saw your mascara running in rain
Mascara on his hoodie
Night at the store
You saw his wrists
All stories in lines
He swore they were "nothing
" you knew they were more
You ditched that party
Heels in your hand
He skipped that show just to walk you home
You joked he’d ruin your aesthetic
He joked you’d ruin his cover of being alone
[Pre-Chorus]
Same scars
Same ache
Two clashing colors in one flame
Same mask
Same fake
Until we finally said our names
[Chorus]
I hate you
I hate you
Then I taste you on my tongue (yeah)
We crash like we’re fatal
But I’m breathing when we’re done
You’re poison on my pretty lips
I’m bleeding on your bedroom sheets
I hate you
I hate you
But you’re everything I need
[Bridge]
[Music drops to tense
Clean guitars]
She screams
"You’re not broken
You’re bored of the dark"
He growls
"You’re not shallow
Just guarding your heart"
We spit those labels like teeth on the floor
Two clichés kissing in the convenience store (hey!)
Pink hair in his black band tee
Black boots on her bed
Filthy
We’re wrong
We’re right
We’re messed
We’re free
If this is a phase
Then let it keep killing me
[Chorus]
I hate you
I hate you
But you’re shaking in my arms
We’re toxic
We’re tangled
Still we circle back to sparks
You’re poison on my pretty lips
I’m bleeding on your bedroom sheets
I hate you
I hate you
But you’re everything
Everything I need
[Outro]
I said I’d always hate you
You smiled
"Then never leave" (oh yeah)
Black ink
Pink gloss in the same cracked mirror
Emo boy
Bimbo girl
Still here
Still breathing through the scream
