Hate You Back

Yeah...

Funny how

"forever" can disappear overnight.

This one's called "Hate U."

You said forever, then you changed up the scene,

Now I'm waking every day from a half-broken dream.

Got your name in my head like a song on repeat,

But the silence hits louder every time that we speak.

I gave my trust,

you played cards I couldn't see,

Now you're acting like the villain was always me.

Funny how the truth gets twisted in the dark,

Now I'm picking up the pieces with a fire in my heart.

I keep saying that I'm over you,

But every memory keeps pulling through.

Wish I could erase what we went through...

Guess that's harder than I thought to do.

I swear I hate you...

But I still remember every "I need you." Trying to forget every

late-night drive, Every promise that we made just to watch 'em die.

I say I hate you,

that's the headline,

Truth is healing just takes time.

So if you hear this,

know it ain't revenge— It's me finding where the story ends.

You left scars where the love used to stay,

Turned sunshine into another cloudy day.

People ask if I'm good,

I just laugh and nod,

'Cause explaining broken trust feels a little too hard.

Now I'm chasing my dreams while you're chasing the past,

I'm learning some things just aren't built to last.

You can keep every excuse,

every beautiful lie, I'm done asking questions that never got replies.

Maybe one day I'll thank you for the pain,

'Cause it taught me how to dance in the rain.

Turned my heartbreak into fuel for the climb,

Now I'm writing my future one bar at a time.

I said I hate you...

But I hate what you put me through.

You don't own my heart anymore,

I'm stronger than I was before.

So this is my goodbye,

no reruns, no debut—

This ain't about hate...

It's about outgrowing you.

Yeah...

Sometimes "I hate you"

Is just another way of saying,

"I finally learned to let go."
