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 this love into a hate
There's a sadness I feel with letting go, and wanting something you can never hold
Forgive me if I'm giving up, but we both know you can't truly hate something you've never loved

I hate the way you bring me down, I hate the things you say to me
I hate that way you make me feel today, but you're the drug I need

Im tired of trying to put a smile on your face.
You just keep on reaching some things never change
There is a sadness i feel with knowing you
And a heart ache that comes with the things you do
Maybe i'm just a fool All I have is my hate
Now you wanna take that too

I hate the way you bring me down, I hate the things you say to me
I hate that way you make me feel today, but you're the drug I need

Dreaming of yesterday where your smile was everywhere
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
Maybe you will never understand why my hate is all I really have today

I hate the way you bring me down, I hate the things you say to me
I hate that way you make me feel today, but you're the drug I need
