Lyrics
Once upon a time, we swore not to say goodbye Something got a hold of us, and we changed And then you sat alone in pride, and I sat at home and cried How'd our fairytale just end up this way? We went round for round 'til we knocked love out We were laying in the ring, not making a sound And if that's a metaphor of you and I Why is it so hard to say goodbye? I can't wait to hate you, make you pain like I do Still can't shake you off (Still can't shake you off) I can't wait to break through these emotional changes Seems like such a lost cause I can't wait to face you, break you down so low There's no place left to go I can't wait to hate you Ooh, this was a love phenomenon no one could explain And I wish I could press reset and feel that feeling again I sit and press rewind and watch us every night Wanna pause it, but I can't make it stay (Just gotta let it play) We went round for round 'til we knocked love out We were laying in the ring, not making a sound And if that's a metaphor of you and I Why is it so hard to say goodbye? (Why?) I can't wait to hate you, make you pain like I do Still can't shake you off (Still can't shake you off) I can't wait to break through these emotional changes Seems like such a lost cause I can't wait to face you, break you down so low There's no place left to go I can't wait to hate you No need to call my phone 'cause I changed my number today And matter fact, I think I'm moving away, away Sorry, the frustration's got me feeling awake And I just keep having one last thing to say And I just wanna hold you, touch you, feel you, be near you I miss you baby, baby, baby I'm tired of tryna fake through, but there's nothing I can do Boy, I can't wait to hate you I can't wait to hate you, make you pain like I do Still can't shake you off (Still can't shake you off) I can't wait to break through these emotional changes Seems like such a lost cause I can't wait to face you, break you down so low There's no place left to go I can't wait to hate you, baby I can't wait to H.A.T.E.U. 'Cause right now I need you I can't wait to let you go I can't wait to H.A.T.E.U.
