I'd Hate Me Too

[Verse 1] When we last spoke, I was a dog with a broken leg I couldn't run to you, so l'd bite 'til you'd shoot me dead I am a coward, but first, I was a kid Lost you like a sore loser with my tail between my legs [Pre-Chorus] Mary, please let me repent [Chorus] Broke my own limb and blamed you for the limp And like a spoiled only child, I thought l'd be forgiven I lied through my canines and I pulled at your hair I wanted you to hate me so you'd know l was still there I wanted you to hate me [Verse 2] Told the world that you kicked me to the curb But I'll admit, I said it just so you'd see how bad I hurt I whined and cried so all the neighbors heard And like a skinhead Christian, I screamed my cherry-picked words [Pre-Chorus] Mary, your name makes my guilt simmer like that summer's sunburn, ah (It hurts, it hurts, it hurts) [Chorus] Broke my own limb and blamed you for the limp And like a spoiled only child, I thought l'd be forgiven I lied through my canines and I pulled at your hair I wanted you to hate me so you'd know l was still there I wanted you to hate me [Outro] If I were you, l'd hate me too I'd hate me too, if I were you If I were you, l'd hate me too I'd hate me too, if I were you
