Track: Why Won't You Hate Me Like I Do
A song based on a chapter in my teen urban fantasy series.
Why Won't You Hate Me Like I Do
Lyrics by Justin Zimmer, music by Suno - Full Playlist
[intro] I was scared. I was embarrassed. I was too broken to let you in. I was nothing you should have hoped for. But when I needed you, you were still right there. I don't know why you can't just hate me the way I do. [verse] All I gave you were excuses But still you kept the door wide open I was mean and oh so useless But you called me helpful, you called me kind You made me feel worthy of your smile [pre-chorus] When you walk away I follow When you're close I run away But I know I need you 'cause When I fall, you'll catch me anyway [chorus] Why won't you just hate me like I do. I don't deserve a friend like you. Why do you pretend it's okay. Why don't I see in me what you see. [interlude] [bridge][rapping] I rejected you and then I lied to you I avoided you then I went and used you But when I told you, revealed the truth to you All you did was smile. You made me feel worthwhile. [bass drop] [verse] I'm scared and you make me laugh I wanna quit and you make me try I'm lost and you make me found I'm feeling down and you make me fly You won't let me be You won't let me be alone in my mind [pre-chorus] When you walk away I follow When you're close I run away But I know I need you 'cause When I fall, you'll catch me anyway [chorus] Why won't you just hate me like I do. I don't deserve a friend like you. Why do you pretend it's okay. How can you see what you see in me. [verse] You pushed me forward and I wasn't ready. I couldn't tell you. So I just said maybe. But you stayed patient, your smile sure and steady. You made me laugh, and now I'm ready to fly! [pre-chorus] When you walk away I follow When you're close I run away But I know I need you 'cause When I fall, you'll catch me anyway [chorus] Oh please don't hate me the way I do. I really need a friend like you. When I'm with you, I feel okay. You see everything I can be. [break] [outro] I'm scared and you make me laugh I wanna quit and you make me try You won't let me be Please don't let me be alone in my mind. [end]
