Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I hate love
It's a bitch sometimes
Mama, I'm sorry for usin' that word
But I only use it when it applies
I hate love
It's a cruel reminder
Even when I know it's bad for me
These memories fill my mind
[PreChorus]
Why do you smell so good?
You know I love that cologne
Why do I want what I shouldn't?
Why can't I leave it alone?
Hangin' on to the good as I wipe the slate clean
I know I shouldn't, but you know lately I hate love
I hate love (Hey, hey)
[Chorus]
Beatin' my head against a wall
Little by little, you took it all
Love's no friend of mine
Countin' your blessings on my back
Livin' your best life, livin' fast
Love, you're out of time
[PostChorus]
I hate love (I hate love)
I hate love (I hate love)
I hate love (I hate love)
[Verse 2]
I hate love
And The Notebook lied
"It's complicated" is more like what happens
So you can keep Gosling and I'll take Steve Martin
I hate love
And all its shine
Not all that glitters is golden
And sometimes love can leave you behind
[PreChorus]
Why does it hurt so much
When you know it's the right thing?
Why do I crave your touch?
Love is so damn blinding
Hangin' on to the good as I wipe the slate clean
I know I shouldn't, but you know lately I hate love
I hate love (Hey, hey)
[Chorus]
Beatin' my head against a wall
Little by little, you took it all
Love's no friend of mine
Countin' your blessings on my back
Livin' your best life, livin' fast
Love, you're out of time
[PostChorus]
I hate love (I hate love)
I hate love (I hate love)
I hate love (I hate love)
I hate love (I hate love)
I hate love (I hate love)
I hate love (I hate love)
[Bridge]
Nothin' left here but a mess
I played the fool, yes, I confess
I kinda did this to myself
Love, you won this round
Love, I'm on the ground
Love, I'm empty now
So I'm tappin' out
[Chorus]
Beatin' my head against a wall
Little by little, you took it all
Love's no friend of mine
Countin' your blessings on my back
Livin' your best life, livin' fast
Love, you're out of time
[PostChorus]
I hate love (I hate love)
I hate love (I hate love)
I hate love (I hate love)
I hate love (I hate love)
I hate love (I hate love)
I hate love (I hate love)
