Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Once upon a time
We swore not to say goodbye
Something got a hold of us and we changed
Then you sat alone in pride
And I sat at home and cried
How'd our fairytale just end up this way?
[Verse 2]
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?
[Verse 3]
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 loss '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
[Verse 4]
Oh, 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)
[Verse 5]
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?
[Verse 6]
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
[Verse 7]
No need to call my phone
'Cause I changed my number today
And matter fact
I think I'm moving away
Sorry, the frustration's
Got me feeling a way
And I just keep having one last thing to say
[Verse 8]
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
[Verse 9]
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
[Verse 10]
I can't wait to H.A.T.E.U.
'Cause right now I need you
Can't wait to break you, oh
I can't wait to H.A.T.E.U.
'Cause right now I need you
Can't wait to break you, oh
