Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Once upon a time

We swore not to say goodbye

Something got a hold of us and we changed

Then you sat alone in pride

And I sat at home and cried

How'd our fairytale just end up this way?

[Verse 2]

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?

[Verse 3]

I can't wait to hate you

Make you pain like I do

Still can't shake you off (Still can't shake you off)

I can't wait to break through

These emotional changes

Seems like such a loss 'cause

I can't wait to face you

Break you down so low

There's no place left to go

I can't wait to hate you

[Verse 4]

Oh, 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)

[Verse 5]

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?

[Verse 6]

I can't wait to hate you

Make you pain like I do

Still can't shake you off (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 to face you

Break you down so low

There's no place left to go

I can't wait to hate you

[Verse 7]

No need to call my phone

'Cause I changed my number today

And matter fact

I think I'm moving away

Sorry, the frustration's

Got me feeling a way

And I just keep having one last thing to say

[Verse 8]

And 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

[Verse 9]

I can't wait to hate you

Make you pain like I do

Still can't shake you off (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 to face you

Break you down so low

There's no place left to go

I can't wait to hate you, baby

[Verse 10]

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

'Cause right now I need you

Can't wait to break you, oh

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

'Cause right now I need you

Can't wait to break you, oh
