Hate Me


This hurts

It's going to leave a burn

A mark

I'm going

To leave a scar

It's going to be deep

And real

Raw

I risked it all

I gave all I was

For a love

I knew

I didn't deserve

And it's finally taking it's toll

Hitting a nerve

I'm breaking down

 

You said

So many words

And each one

Hit it's mark

You left a mark

A scar

A wound

And that's how I knew

It was right

It was you

Whether I was ready or not

You took your best shot

Bet all you had

On me

And now

It's going up in flames of hell

 

Shake it off

Breathe in and out

I'm dying

Without you

No way

Can I forget

All I know now

No way

Am I going to know

How to breathe

Without your kiss

Now that I know

What I have to miss

Live without

No way

Am I willing

To live a day

Without the love

I learned

From you

No way

 

This hurts

It burns

It cut deep

And the wound is real

It's raw

Bleeding

Making it's way

Right to my heart

I thought

I couldn't sink any lower

Any faster

But here I am

Heading for another disaster

Another break down

Can't do this

Without you around

 

You're gonna have to hate me

To get rid of this feeling

You're gonna

Have to break me

To break this spell

You have over me

You're gonna

Have to burn 

This bridge

Between us

Break the bond

The trust

Holding us together

Take that

Promise of forever

These rings

Of steel and metal

Take it all

Throw it away

Like trash

Make me believe

Make me watch you leave

Give me no choice

No voice

In the matter

You're gonna

Have to hate me

To kill this
