H.A.T.E.U

Once upon a time

We swore not to say goodbye

Something got a hold of us and we changed

Then you sat alone and pried

And I sat at home and cried

How'd our fairytale just end up this way

We went

Round for round

Til we knocked love out

We were laying in the ring

Not making a sound

And if that's a metaphor of you and I

Why is it so hard to say goodbye?

I can't wait to hate you

Make you pain like I do

Still can't shake you off

I can't wait to break through

These emotional changes

Seems like such a lost cause

I can't wait face you

Break you down so low

There's no place left to go

I can't wait to hate you

This was a love phenomenon

No one could explain

And I wish I could press reset

And feel that feeling again

I sit and press rewind

And watch us every night

Wanna pause it

But I can't make it stay (Just gotta let it play)

We went

Round for round

Til we knocked love out

We were laying in the ring

Not making a sound

And if that's a metaphor of you and I

Why is it so hard to say goodbye?

I can't wait to hate you

Make you pain like I do

Still can't shake you off

I can't wait to break through

These emotional changes

Seems like such a lost cause

I can't wait face you

Break you down so low

There's no place left to go

I can't wait to hate you

No need to call my phone

I changed my number today

And matter fact

I think I'm moving away

Sorry, the frustration's

Got me feeling that way

And I just keep having

One last thing to say

I just wanna hold you

Touch you, Feel you

Be near you, I miss you

Baby baby baby

I'm tired of tryna fake through

But there's nothing I can do

Boy I can't wait to hate you

I can't wait to hate you

Make you pain like I do

Still can't shake you off

I can't wait to break through

These emotional changes

Seems like such a lost cause

I can't wait face you

Break you down so low

There's no place left to go

I can't wait to hate you

(I can't wait to H.A.T.E.U.)
