I Don't Like You

(album: LETTERS: Vol. 1 - 2019)

Here we go again in that same story
Follow the routine until we say, "I'm sorry"
Hands are shaking till I just look down at the floor
Face is turning red and eyes are going puffy
You ask me why we yell and I come up with nothing
Your insecurities are pulling you back
But please know, oh, oh

I love you, but I don't like you
The simple truth is I can't do this, though I try to
I love you, but I don't like you
And I can't shut you out, so I'm shutting my mouth
But I'll never despise you
I just don't like you
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

We pour our souls out about the past months
By just trying to talk about lunch
And every single thing we say is gonna start a new war
And I'm exhausted from this tug of war of words
And when you said, "I don't care for you", it got worse
We both know it isn't working but I still put you first

'Cause I love you, but I don't like you
The simple truth is I can't do this, though I try to
I love you, but I don't like you
And I can't shut you out, so I'm shutting my mouth
But I'll never despise you
I just don't like you

Ooh
We both refuse to lose
We both refuse to choose the higher road
Which way will we go? Oh-oh, oh-oh
And ooh (Ooh)
We both refuse to lose (Lose)
We both refuse to choose the higher road
Which way will we go? Oh-oh, oh-oh

'Cause I love you, but I don't like you
The simple truth is I can't do this, though I try to
I love you, but I don't like you
And I can't shut you out, so I'm shutting my mouth
But I'll never despise you
I just don't like you
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
I just don't like you
