Hate Me

I almost married a simple man

Who made me laugh with a beer in his hand

He said, "I'll stay at home, and you'll travel the world

I need you, you're my precious girl"

I almost married a clean woman

She had the brain of a solar system

Her gravity pulled all the good people close

I tried to love her, but I hurt her the most

If there's water in the cup, you've gotta pour it out

I hate being contained

Spill me on the concrete, throw me in the grass

Just let me keep my name

If you hate me, hate me

It's out of my control

I need freedom to feel like I have a fucking soul

So if you hate me, I'm sorry

I wish that I were more like somebody steady

Instead of walking out the door

I always thought I was ignorant

I didn't like what they held to my lips

So I opened my mouth and tried not to exist

Pretending I was into it

If there's water in the cup, you've gotta pour it out

I hate being contained

Spill me on the concrete, throw me in the grass

Just let me keep my name

If you hate me, hate me

It's out of my control

I need freedom to feel like I have a fucking soul

It took me so long to ask for what I need

'Cause I was so afraid you'd hate me

Do you hate me?

Guess it wouldn't kill me

It took me so long to ask for what I need

'Cause I was so afraid you'd hate me

Now you hate me, but it didn't kill me
