[Verse 1]


I have to bloc

k out thoughts

 of you so I d

on’t lose my h

ead
      
They crawl in 

like a cockroa

ch leaving bab

ies in my bed
         
Dropping littl

e reels of tap

e to remind me

 that I’m alon

e
        
Playing movies

 in my head th

at make a porn

o feel like ho

me
          
There's a burn

ing in my prid

e, a nervous b

leeding in my 

brain
            
An ounce of pe

ace is all I w

ant for you; w

ill you never 

call again?
             
And will you n

ever say that 

you love me ju

st to put it i

n my face?
             
And will you n


ever try to re

ach me; It is 

I that wanted 

space


[Chorus]

          
Hate me today
          
Hate me tomorr

ow
             
Hate me for al

              
l the things I

             
 didn't do for

  
 you
            
Hate me in way

s
             
Yeah ways hard


 to swallow
             
Hate me so you

              
 can finally s

             
ee what's good

    
 for you


[Verse 2]

     
I’m sober now 

for 3 whole mo

nths it’s one 

accomplishment

 that you help

ed me with
        
The one thing 

that always to

re us apart is

 the one thing

 I won’t touch

 again
      
In my sick way

 I want to tha

nk you for hol

ding my head u

p late at nigh

t
             
While I was bu


sy waging wars

 on myself, yo

u were trying 

to stop the fi

ght
           
You never doub

ted my warped 

opinions on th

ings like suic

idal hate
            
You made me co

mpliment mysel

f when it was 

way too hard t

o take
        
So I’ll drive 

so fucking far

 away that I n

ever cross you

r mind
    
And do whateve

r it takes in 

your heart to 

leave me behin

d


[Chorus]

          
Hate me today
          
Hate me tomorr

ow
             
Hate me for al

              
l the things I

             
 didn't do for

  
 you
            
Hate me in way

s
            
Yeah ways hard

 to swallow
             
Hate me so you

              
 can finally s

[Bridge]

           
And with a sad

              
 heart I say b

              
ye to you and 

 
wave
             
Kicking shadow

              
s on the stree

              
t for every mi


stake that I h

ad made
           
And like a bab

              
y boy I never 

       
was a man
             
Until I saw yo

              
ur blue eyes c

              
ry and I held 

   
your face in m

y hand
            
And then I fel

             
l down yelling

              
 ‘Make it go a

 
way!’
             
Just make a sm

              
ile, come back

              
 and shine, li

     
ke it used to 

be
             
And then she w

            
hispered ‘How 

              
can you do thi

      
s to me?’


[Chorus]

          
Hate me today
          
Hate me tomorr

ow
             
Hate me for al

              
l the things I

             
 didn't do for

 
 you
            
Hate me in way

s
              
Yeah ways hard

    
 to swallow
             
Hate me so you

             
 can finally s

              
ee what's good

      
 for you
    
For you
         
For you
    
For you
