Don't Hate Me Now

[Verse 1]

Made a bad decision

Ignored my intuition

Now I gotta live with a guilty conscience (Yeah)

I could have played it different

Been honest with my feelings

'Cause all I am to you is an empty promise

[Pre-Chorus]

Mm, realized

It never felt right

I tried and I tried

I just wasn’t rocking with it

[Chorus]

Please, don't hate me now

It wasn't easy (Hey)

You said I checked out

Without a reason, and

I knew I couldn’t give you all (Hey)

The things you needed

Please, don't hate me now (Now)

Don't hate me now (Now, now)

[Verse 2]

I wish it could bе different

I wish my heart was willing

Somеtimes the truth can be a bitter pill to swallow, oh-oh

And either way you split it

I'ma be the villain

You think I'm full of it meanwhile I'm hollow (Meanwhile I'm hollow)

[Pre-Chorus]

Mm, realized

It never felt right

I tried and I tried

I just wasn't rocking with it

[Chorus]

Please, don’t hate me now (Yeah)

It wasn’t easy (Hey)

You said I checked out

Without a reason, and

I knew I couldn't give you all (Hey)

The things you needed (The things you needed, needed)

Please, don’t hate me now (Now)

Don't hate me now (Now, now)

[Bridge]

Pretty sure your version of the story gon' be different

When you talking to your sisters and you telling them that I'm the—

One that broke your heart, made you cry in the kitchen

What I said you didn’t listen, swear, I wasn't on a mission to hurt you

Make you jaded or leave you frustrated

Might not get it now but eventually

All I'm asking is

[Chorus]

Please, don't hate me now (Now)

It wasn't easy (Hey)

You said I checked out

Without a reason, and

I knew I couldn't give you all (Hey)

The things you needed (Oh)

Please, don't hate me now (Don't hate me)

Don't hate me now (Now)
