Never Hated You

Verse 1

These days the silence hits a little too hard

Your memory lingers like a scar on my heart

I keep pretending that I’m doing okay

But healing don’t happen just because people say

You were a lesson dressed up as a dream

Nothing was ever quite the way that it seemed

I gave you trust, you gave me confusion

Now I’m stuck sorting truth from illusion

Pre-Chorus

You said we were nothing, said it like a lie

But still got angry when I tried to say goodbye

Chorus

I hate your stupid brown hair

I hate those green eyes too

I hate the way you made me laugh

Like no one else could do

I hate the nights you held me close

Then left me feeling low

And most of all I hate myself

For missing you at all

Verse 2

I’ve been learning how to stand on my own feet

Trying to make peace with an empty seat

Somebody new could be kind and sincere

But it ain’t fair when your ghost is still here

Then I saw you underneath those neon lights

And every part of me went back that night

You looked so fine, like nothing had changed

While I was breaking trying to hide the pain

Pre-Chorus

You move so easy, I carry the weight

Funny how the one who hurt me got away

Chorus

I hate your stupid brown hair

I hate those green eyes too

I hate the way you made me laugh

Like no one else could do

I hate the nights you held me close

Then left me feeling low

And most of all I hate myself

For missing you at all

Bridge

Maybe if you let me in, we’d know by now

Maybe if I walked away, I’d hurt less somehow

Maybe some people are meant to be almost

Close enough to love, too far to hold

Final Chorus

I hate your stupid brown hair

I hate the way it falls

I hate how every little thing

Still echoes through these walls

I hate that I still think of you

When midnight gets too cold

But most of all I hate the truth

I never hated you at all
