I Would Hate You If I Could

I hear you've been telling all your friends that you're done with me

Like you always knew things wouldn't work out

And I've been hearing things from people that I don't want to talk to

Like it matters who you're sleeping with now

Can I erase from my mind anything that you said

Or any time that we spent with each other?

I don't want to waste away another cell on a memory

When you're just another meaningless lover

Forget the nights that we spent laughing

Till the morning on your bedroom floor

Without a thought about your roommate asleep down the hall

Forget the days we'd waste in bed

Tangled, the smoke still on your breath

Undressed, and pinning you up to the wall

And I swore I heard you talking when I was tossing in my sleep

You were always trying to walk in circles around me

I was out one night when I saw you, and you froze me where I stood

I would hate you, I would hate you if I could

Forget the nights that we spent laughing

Till the morning on your bedroom floor

Without a thought about your roommate asleep down the hall

Forget the days we'd waste in bed

Tangled, the smoke still on your breath

Undressed, and pinning you up to the wall

I would hate you, but I'm not finished yet

I would hate you, but I'm not finished yet

Even you, up on that pedestal

I would hate you, but I'm not finished yet

The time will come when you

I would hate you, but I'm not finished yet

Will deconstruct yourself and remake what you are

When it does, you'll remember me

I would hate you, but I'm not finished yet

And the words I spoke

I would hate you, but I'm not finished yet

And wonder how you ever could have strayed so far

Even you, up on that pedestal

I would hate you, but I'm not finished yet

The time will come when you

I would hate you, but I'm not finished yet

Will deconstruct yourself and remake what you are

When it does, you'll remember me

I would hate you, but I'm not finished yet

And the words I spoke

I would hate you, but I'm not finished yet

And wonder how you ever could have strayed so far
