Things I hate about you
I hate it when you stand up to me,
I hate it when you don't.
'cos you choose the worst time to listen to me -
When I'm counting on the fact that you won't.
I hate it when you pull away,
I hate it when you're cold.
I really really hate it
When you're forward and bold.
I hate you when you smirk at me,
I hate it when you stare;
I also hate your sarcasm,
And that attitude that says 'devil-may-care'.
I hate it when you support me,
Through my pain, my misery.
It makes it just that much more hard,
To hate you for eternity.
I hate it when you're nice;
I hate everything about you.
But most of all I hate myself,
When I forget my hate around you...
I hate feeling at home in your arms,
I hate losing myself in your eyes.
And I hate it when the thought comes to me,
that you may not feel likewise.
I always thought I was independent and strong.
That was my conceit;
Then you came by and I realised,
What it is to feel complete.
That's what I've heard people say,
I have the feeling that I've crossed the line,
that it is love that I think is hate...
*******
There're so many things I hate about you
I can't possibly list them all.
You're fiery and impulsive, and
you just drive me up the wall.
I hate it when you get perverse,
When you yell till your throat is sore.
I hate your insulting tone, it's true,
But I hate your tears more.
I hate that you're so headstrong
I hate when you don't act like a girl
I hate it when you prove me wrong.
I like nothing about you
You aren't sweet or shy or kind
You're not the girl I wanted
Yet I can't get you out of my mind
I hate your eyes, your smile
Hate your pretty hair
I hate that look on your face
that says you really care
I hate that there are boundaries,
That we are not to cross.
I hate that you've become
my anchor in this chaos.
I've seen how much it affects you
when I suddenly pull away.
I hate myself for hurting you
But it's just better this way...
I can't afford to fall for you
But I have, and that's my curse
Now I have to get away
Before things get any worse.
There will come a time, very soon,
When you'll know I've been untrue.
But when you mourn your broken heart,
know that mine's broken too...
