I Don’t Like You

Here we go again in the same story
We follow the routine until we say "I'm sorry"
Hands are shaking till I just look down at the floor

Face is turning red and eyes are growing puffy
You ask me why we yell and I come up with nothing
Your insecurities are pulling you back
But please know

I love you, but I don't like you
The simple truth is I can't do this, though I try to
I love you, but I don't like you
And I can't shut you out, so I'm shutting my mouth
But I'll never despise you
I just don't like you

We pour our souls out about the past months
But just trying to talk about lunch
And every single thing you say is gonna start a new war

And I'm exhausted from this tug of war of words
And when you said "I don't care for you" it got worse
We both know it isn't working but I still put you first

'Cause I love you, but I don't like you
The simple truth is I can't do this, though I try to
I love you, but I don't like you
And I can't shut you out, so I'm shutting my mouth
But I'll never despise you
I just don't like you

We both refuse to lose
We both refuse to choose the higher road
Which way we go
And oh
We both refuse to lose
We both refuse to choose the higher road
Which way will we go?

'Cause I love you, but I don't like you
The simple truth is I can't do this, though I try to
I love you, but I don't like you
And I can't shut you out, so I'm shutting my mouth
But I'll never despise you
I just don't like you

(And oh)
(We both refuse to lose)
(We both refuse to choose the higher road)
(Which way will we go?)
I just don't like you
