If I can't let you go
Will darkness divide?
For the fiction of love
Is the truth of our lies
We were playing for keeps
But we both knew the cost
Now the only way out's
In your heart-shaped box

But I hate that it seemed
You were never enough
We were broken and bleeding
But never gave up
And I hate that I made you the enemy
And I hate that your heart was the casualty
Now I hate that I need you

As we rest here alone
Like notes on a page
The finest to compose
Could not play our pain
With a candle through time
I can still see your ghost
But I can't close my eyes, for it
For it is there where you haunt me most
Where you haunt me most

I hate that it seemed
You were never enough
We were broken and bleeding
But never gave up
And I hope that I sing through your memory
As we echo through time in the melody
Now I hate that I need you

And I hear you now when you said
It hurt, but it had to fall
Fall apart to work
As I see you now in what's left of me
Is it too late to plead insanity?

'Cause I hate that it seemed
You were never enough
You were broken and bleeding in the name of love
And I hope that we meet in another life
I hope that we meet in another life
I don't hate that I need you
I don't hate that I need you
I don't hate that I need you
