I Hate Love

Your words are pretty but I already know who you are

I knew you before you met me, long before we would part

Before you tricked me and laid on my bones

Before you kissed me and buried my hope

Before you stole my spirit and rode the show

Into the wall

They shore you up

They lay all their dreams on you

They let you in and you start to believe you're soft as

a miracle

Unfurled, I was new and unfurled

Innocent and open as any lamb

And hoping for paradise

Yeah, I hate love

Yeah, I hate love

So I hate love

Yeah, I hate love

Love leaves you desperate

And feeling a fool

Love makes you ruthless

And love makes you cruel

And love makes you crazy

With nothing but lies

Love promises nothing

And then your love dies

Unfurled, I was new and unfurled

Innocent and open as any lamb

And hoping for paradise

Yeah, I hate love

Yeah, I hate love

So I hate love

Yeah, I hate love

Then your love dies

(Here I am)

(Where are you?)

Then your love dies

(Where are you?)

Then your love dies

(Can you call me?)

(Can you call me back?)
