Hate Me

(album: Hard Reset - 2023)

(Every time you wanna hate me)

I always thought that I should do what I'm told
Don't ask too many questions don't be so bold
I always sought out being different and so
I've got too many reasons to break your mold

And there's something I'm dying to say
But you're not gonna listen to me
Cause I know that you want me to fail
And I know that I never will

Every time you wanna hate me
Every time you think you've got me cornered in
Every time you wanna break me
Everybody loves to doubt my will to live

Why won't you listen to me?
I see what you hide underneath
Bend me but I'll never break

Is this what you really want?
To see me come undone?
Maybe it's the thought of me spinning round your mind
Cause all the words you say make me wanna die
I don't really like it but it makes me feel alive
So go on and hate me

Every time you wanna hate me
Every time you think you've got me cornered in
Every time you wanna break me
Everybody loves to doubt my will to live
A little rain, a little pain
Everything you need comes from within
A little love, a little hate
I find myself at peace even when I sin

(I've given everything)

I know you think you've reached the end
but this is where you can begin
You take a step and I take a leap
You weren't meant to live this broken dream
I'm saving, I'm saving me

Every time you wanna hate me
Every time you think you've got me cornered in
Every time you wanna break me
Everybody loves to doubt my will to live
A little rain, a little pain
Everything you need comes from within
A little love, a little hate
I find myself at peace even when I sin
