I Hate Myself For You

(album: Dearest Christian, I'm So Very Sorry For Bringing You Here. Love, Dad - 1998)

Don't waste your precious light, all my life
I've hated myself for you
Feel free that's alright, I'm terrified
I hate myself for you

Ooh...
Don't you see, I hate myself for you [x2]

Too weak, too divine
All my life, I hate myself for you
So why do they think I have this "Buddha gene"
When I can hardly see the angels
I hate myself for you

They're amazed, I can rape my own emotions
So sometimes it's horrible to be me
Defending myself against me drives me crazy
Martyrdom is healthy
Martyrdom is healthy

Ooh...
Don't you see, I hate myself for you [x2]

Armageddon knows I'll b good to you
I can hardly see the angels
I hate myself for you

But I don't know the reasons why the angels sing to you
I feel just like Joseph
I feel just like Joseph
I hate myself for you

Ooh...
Don't you see, I hate myself for you [x2]
