I'm burning the letters you wrote to me   In a fire that I will not forget   I'm saying goodbye in my own way   And turning that love into a hate      There's a madness that comes with letting go   And wanting something you could never hold   Forgive me if I'm giving up   But we both know you can't truely hate something you've never loved      [Chorus]   I hate the way you bring me down   I hate the things you say to me   I hate the way you make me feel today   But you're the drug I need   [x2]      I'm tired of trying to put a smile on your face   You just keep on reaching   But some things never change      There's a sadness I feel with knowing you   And a heartache that comes with the things you do   I guess that I'm just a fool   All I have is my hate now   You wanna take that too      [Chorus]      I'm dreaming of yesterdays when your smile was everywhere   And maybe I'm saving the best of me for someone who really cares   So I'm writing some words today to help me find my way   And maybe you'll never understand that my hate is all I really have today      [Chorus]      I hate the way you bring me down   I hate the things you say to me   I hate the way you make me feel today.   [x 2]
