Don't Hate Me

(album: This Is How The World Ends - 2021)

Don't hate me
Don't hate me
Don't hate me more than I hate myself
Don't hate me
I'm sad enough
I lost my mind today
I checked up on the guys you date
It's no wonder I'm insecure
And she's in my
My head again
So I called her, checking in
No answer
And now I'm on my way to say the same old shit

Don't hate me
Don't hate me
Don't hate me more than I hate myself
Don't let me destroy me
Don't hurt me more than I hurt myself
Just scold me
Console me
Control me
Oh, I could use some help
Don't hate me
I'm sad enough

I changed my face again
I just want you to let me in
Am I more than just a friend?
It's not grandeur
I'm off my meds
I'm no danger
So call the feds
I'm no stalker
I just ignore restraining orders all the time

Don't hate me
Don't hate me
Don't hate me more than I hate myself
Don't let me destroy me
Don't hurt me more than I hurt myself
Just scold me
Console me
Control me
Oh, I could use some help
But don't hate me
I'm sad enough

I heard you started dating the singer from that emo band
What if my band was more like their band?
Would you hate me even if I got all the tattoos and piercings
Same as him, there's nothing missing
I even dyed my hair and learned to scream
I sound just like him, listen
Life's a never ending obsession
To kill our own reflection
Depression makes no exceptions
Except the rich and sexy
My delusion is better than
Facing the truth about me
I can see that you're angry
But don't hate me

Don't hate me
Don't hate me
Don't hate me more than I hate myself
Don't let me destroy me
Don't hurt me more than I hurt myself
Just scold me
Console me
Control me
Oh, I could use some help
But don't hate me
(Don't hate me)

Don't call me crazy
Am I crazy?
I'm really sorry
Can you ever forgive me?

This never ending obsession
To kill our own reflection
Depression makes no exceptions
Except the rich and sexy
My delusion is better than
Facing the truth about me
I can see that you're angry
But don't hate me
