Lyrics

Hate me if you have to

I already do sometimes

Say I'm hard to get close to

You ain't gotta lie

Blame me if it helps you

Put my name on every bad night

If loving me got too damn heavy

Then hate me till it feels right

I don't blame you for the look on your face

I know I've been a hard place to stay

I know I got a mouth like a loaded gun

And I hate what I say when the damage is done

I push, then I pull, then I panic, then freeze

Then I act like you're crazy for needing to breathe

I make a whole war out of one little tone

Then wonder why you look safer alone

That's me

Yeah, that's mine

Bad heart with a good disguise

Good man with a bad fuse

Telling the truth with a lie half-used

I don't wanna be the reason you break

I don't wanna be the scar with my name

But I got this habit of burning the room

Then standing in smoke like, "What'd I do?"

So say it mean

Say it loud

Say the shit you've been choking down

I can take it

I can bleed

Just don't pretend you don't see me

Hate me if you have to

I already do sometimes

Say I'm hard to get close to

You ain't gotta lie

Blame me if it helps you

Put my name on every bad night

If loving me got too damn heavy

Then hate me till it feels right

I know sorry don't fix the plate

When the pieces still cut the same

I know "I'll change" sounds cheap as hell

When I said that before and still stayed myself

You wanted peace, I brought weather

You wanted us, I got clever

Dodged every talk like I'm built to escape

Then cried like a bitch when you needed space

Funny, ain't it?

Real cute

I begged for the truth, then hated the proof

Said I want love, then made it a test

Got mad when you failed what I never expressed

I swear I don't mean half the shit I defend

But I still defend it till it don't make sense

That's pride with a knife

That's fear in a suit

That's me acting strong when I'm scared to lose you

So say it mean

Say it straight

Say you're tired of carrying weight

I can take it

Let it land

I won't ask you to understand

Hate me if you have to

I already do sometimes

Say I'm hard to get close to

You ain't gotta lie

Blame me if it helps you

Put my name on every bad night

If loving me got too damn heavy

Then hate me till it feels right

Hate the way I shut down

Hate the way I snap

Hate the way I want you close

Then don't know how to act

Hate the way I say too much

Then swear I'm misunderstood

Hate the way I had your heart

And didn't treat it like I should

Hate me for the long nights

Hate me for the cold

Hate me for the words I threw

Then tried to take back home

Hate me for the damage

Hate me for the mess

Hate me till you're free of me

But don't hate yourself for this

I ain't the victim, I ain't the saint

I ain't the hero with blood on his cape

I'm just a man with a head full of noise

Who keeps using anger like it's a voice

And maybe I learned it, maybe I didn't

Maybe I'm scared that I'm too damn different

Maybe that's true, maybe that's weak

Maybe I talk cause I don't wanna think

But you deserved soft

You deserved safe

You deserved love that didn't feel like a cage

You deserved mornings that didn't feel tense

You deserved better than my defense

So hate me clean

Hate me clear

Hate every version that kept you here

Hate me loud

Hate me right

If that's what it takes to sleep tonight

Hate me if you have to

I already do sometimes

Say I'm hard to get close to

You ain't gotta lie

Blame me if it helps you

Put my name on every bad night

If loving me got too damn heavy

Then hate me till it feels right

Hate me if you need to

I won't call it cruel

I gave you every reason

To do what you had to do

And if you ever miss me

Don't dress it up as fate

Some people learn too slowly

Some love shows up too late
