I Would Hate You If I Could

I hear you've been telling all your friends that you're done with me Like you always knew things wouldn't work out And I've been hearing things from people that I don't want to talk to Like it matters who you're sleeping with now Can I erase from my mind anything that you said Or any time that we spent with each other? I don't want to waste away another cell on a memory When you're just another meaningless lover Forget the nights that we spent laughing 'Til the morning on your bedroom floor Without a thought about your roommate asleep down the hall Forget the days we'd waste in bed Tangled, the smoke still on your breath Undressed and pinning you up to the wall And I swore I heard you talking When I was tossing in my sleep You were always trying to walk in circles around me I was out one night when I saw you And you froze me where I stood I would hate you, I would hate you if I could Forget the nights that we spent laughing 'Til the morning on your bedroom floor Without a thought about your roommate asleep down the hall Forget the days we'd waste in bed Tangled, the smoke still on your breath Undressed and pinning you up to the wall I would hate you but I'm not finished yet I would hate you but I'm not finished yet Even you up on that pedestal (I would hate you but I'm not finished yet) The time will come when you (I would hate you) Will deconstruct yourself and remake what you are (but I'm not finished yet) And when it does, you'll remember me (I would hate you but I'm not finished yet) And the words I spoke (I would hate you) And wonder how you ever could have strayed so far (but I'm not finished yet) Even you up on that pedestal (I would hate you but I'm not finished yet) The time will come when you (I would hate you) Will deconstruct yourself and remake what you are (but I'm not finished yet) When it does, you'll remember me (I would hate you but I'm not finished yet) And the words I spoke (I would hate you) And wonder how you ever could have strayed so far (but I'm not finished yet)
