Lyrics Polly Scattergood

Polly Scattergood

I Hate The Way

I hate the way I cry when you say you miss me

but I love the way you hold me when I sleep

I hate the way I bleed each time you kiss me

But you say hey, sleeping beauty, go back to sleep

We had pennies in our pockets,

we had hope in our eyes,

you said, girl, you got a million different faces,

so why d’you put on that disguise

well take what you want cause I’ve got nothing,

pass me some pills, I’ll go to bed,

but however much I toss and turn I feel a dark place up

ahead

Some nights I just sit right here, I remember, I just

remember

before it all got lost up in the mess

he said, “Not all men are bad, and I am not like your

dad,

and I will hold you, even though you’re slightly mad,

cause I am not a man who will ever break you.”

We had pennies in our pockets,

we had hope in our eyes

you said, girl you’ve got a million different faces,

so why d’you put on that disguise

well you can take what you want cause I have got

nothing,

pass me some pills and I’ll go to bed,

but however much I toss and turn I feel a dark place up

ahead

doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo

my doctor said I gotta sing a happy tune

doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo, do doo dn doo

but my body gave up too soon

doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo

you know what

I am just fine ‘til I’m on my own

doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo, ah doo dn doo dn doo

somebody please come home

I hate the way I tremble when you touch me

you’re like a needle slowly piercing my skin

I hate the way my stomach aches

and I really hate these loveless mistakes

cause I’m screaming for my rock who never picks up,

why do you never pick up

We had pennies in our pockets

we had hope in our eyes

you said, girl you’ve got a million different faces,

so why d’you put on that disguise

well you can take what you want cause I’ve got nothing,

pass me some pills, and I will go to bed,

but, however much I toss and turn I feel a dark place

up ahead

doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo

my doctor said I’ve got to sing a happy tune
