I Hate You...

Verse 1

I hate the way you talk to me,

The way you make me mad.

I hate the way you make me cry,

The way you stare, it hurts so bad.

I hate the way you read my mind,

I hate the way you don’t seem to care.

I hate the way you make me wait,

The way you make me feel bare.

Pre-Chorus

I hate it all, every little piece,

The anger, the longing, the restless grief.

Chorus

But mostly, I don’t hate you.

Not even close, not even a little, not at all.

And it’s tearing me apart,

How I hate the way I love you most of all.

Verse 2

I hate the way you make me smile,

The way you make me laugh.

I hate the way you understand me,

The way you sneak inside my heart.

I hate the way you make me miss you,

Even when you don’t call.

I hate that I care this much,

I hate it all.

Pre-Chorus

I hate it all, every little piece,

The longing, the hope, the silent screams.

Chorus

But mostly, I don’t hate you.

Not even close, not even a little, not at all.

And it’s tearing me apart,

How I hate the way I love you most of all.

Bridge (optional)

I’m trapped in this love-hate loop,

I scream, I seethe, I swoon.

Every “I hate you” I shout aloud,

Turns to a whisper: I want you now.

Chorus (repeat / outro)

But mostly, I don’t hate you.

Not even close, not even a little, not at all.

And it’s tearing me apart,

How I hate the way I love you most of all.
