I’d Hate Me Too

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

Mary please let me repent

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

Told the world that you kicked me to the curb but l'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

Mary, your name makes my guilt simmer like that summer's sunburn

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 I was still there
I wanted you to hate me

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
