I Don't Hate You

[Verse 1]
You left me broken
I gave you all I had
Every piece of me I trusted
You threw it away so fast
For a minute it was perfect
Like we had it figured out
Then you changed like I was nothing
Left me standing in the doubt
You walked out like it was easy
Like I never meant that much
And it hurt me in a way
I still can’t fully touch

[Pre-Chorus]
I didn’t know how I’d recover
Or if I’d make it through
I just kept on moving forward
Like I had nothing left to lose

[Chorus]
And I don’t hate you, I just don’t need you anymore
I don’t carry what you did like I did before
I moved on, yeah I survived it
Found a love that feels like home
And I don’t hate you, I just don’t need you anymore

[Verse 2]
It took a long road back to living
Took some nights I can’t explain
Had to learn that I could heal now
Even holding onto pain
Now I wake up next to someone
Who protects what’s in my chest
And she loves me like she means it
Like I finally get to rest

[Pre-Chorus]
And I don’t look back too often
But when I do I see
What I thought I lost forever
Was already finding me

[Chorus]
And I don’t hate you, I just don’t need you anymore
I don’t carry what you did like I did before
I moved on, yeah I survived it
Found a love that feels like home
And I don’t hate you, I just don’t need you anymore

[Bridge]
And if I ever saw you standing
I don’t think I’d fall apart
I’d just nod and keep on walking
Like you never held my heart

[Final Chorus (big, radio finish)]
And I don’t hate you, I just don’t need you anymore
I found peace I never had behind your door
Yeah I moved on, yeah I survived it
Found a love that feels like home
And I don’t hate you, I just don’t need you anymore

[Outro (hook repeat / fade)]
I don’t hate you… I just don’t need you anymore
I don’t hate you… I just don’t need you anymore
