Hate Me If It Helps

I wonder if your therapist likes me

I guess it depends on how much of the truth you tell to her

And I wonder if your brother wants to fight me

Would he change his mind if he saw his big sister at her worst?

So tell your friends I'm evil

Write songs that say I suck

And roll your eyes when people ask about us

You can hate me if it helps

Make me out to be the villain

Say you're better by yourself

So it feels like your decision

You can tell 'em I'm the bad guy if it helps you sleep ok

Because all you want is closure, but there's nothing left to say

So you can hate me if it helps

You can hate me if it helps

Do you wonder if I'm with someone new now?

If her clothes are in the drawer you used to take up in my room

Yeah, I bet you think I never think about

You anymore and, God, I wish that that were true

But I tell my friends I miss you

I write songs about how much

Yeah, I know we had our issues, so if you want

You can hate me if it helps

Make me out to be the villain

Say you're better by yourself

So it feels like your decision

You can tell 'em I'm the bad guy if it helps you sleep ok

Because all you want is closure, but there's nothing left to say

So you can hate me if it helps

You can hate me if it helps

I'm sorry I stayed up with you every night

For making you laugh when you wanted to cry

I'm sorry I paid for your SSRI's

For making you happy, I apologize

I'm sorry I put you in front of my friends

Yeah, my bad, forgiving you for what you said

So go and be angry, but you can't pretend

'Cause I know that you never would

'Cause I know that you never could

Yeah, I know

But you can hate me if it helps

Yeah, you can hate me if it helps
