I Hate This

[Verse 1] You took me for a swim I'd never gotten in before I was too scared to do it alone And I watched you begin A new life in Virginia I wanted to help you make it along [Pre-Chorus] Hard times show you who you really are Spotlight on the deepest dark [Chorus] I wish it could've ended better I didn't get to look in your eyes I thought we made a life together I think I deserved a kind of goodbye More private, more patient, more sacred God, I hate this [Verse 2] And when we lost Ned My belief in good was shattered You knew how to talk me off of the edge And when the world stopped I went to reach for you but You were reaching out for somebody else [Pre-Chorus] Hard times show you who you really are Spotlight on the deepest thoughts [Chorus] I wish it could've ended better I didn't get to look in your eyes I thought we made a life together I think I deserved a kind of goodbye More private, more patient, more gracious God, I hate this [Bridge] I don't get to talk to you no more I hate it You're replaced by a pain I can't ignore I hate it, I hate it, I hate it [Chorus] I wish it could've ended better I didn't get to look in your eyes I thought we'd make a life together I think we deserved a kind of goodbye More private, more patient, more sacred Oh God, I hate this [Outro] God, I hate this Oh God, I hate this
