I Hate the Way

[Verse 1]

I hate the way you say my name

I hate your picture-perfect lips on mine

If I could, I'd cut the brakes

I hate that I can't help but stay, oh my

[Pre-Chorus]

When you look at me, I have to turn my face

If I look too long, I'll never look away

Babe, I wasn't praying for a saving grace

Unfold your fingers, let's go back to nothing

[Chorus]

And I hate the way

I say words that I laughed at before

And I hate the way

My thoughts aren't mine, now they're yours

Look at what you've created, something borderline sacred

I call it overrated, go on and call me jaded

'Cause I hate the way

I say words that I laughed at before

[Verse 2]

You think you're cool when you pretend

That I'm not always in your head, don't lie

Your favorite game is self-defense

I dare you to give it a rest sometimes

[Pre-Chorus]

When you look at me, I have to turn my face

If I look too long, I'll never look away

Babe, I wasn't praying for a saving grace

Unfold your fingers, let's go back to nothing

[Chorus]

And I hate the way

I say words that I laughed at before

And I hate the way

My heart isn't mine, now it's yours

Look at what you've created, something borderline sacred

I call it overrated, go on and call me jaded

'Cause I hate the way

My heart isn't mine, now it's yours

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]

And I hate the way

I say words that I laughed at before

And I hate the way

My thoughts aren't mine, now they're yours

Look at what you've created, something borderline sacred

I call it overrated, go on and call me jaded

'Cause I hate the way

My heart isn't mine, now it's yours
