Hate Me Lyrics
[Chorus]
You can hate me
But I’ll still be there when you need me
If it makes you feel better, then break me
I’ll be the one left in pieces
[Verse 1]
If you wanna see me in a hearse
That’s probably what I deserve
All I ever wanted was the best for ya
I just couldn’t find the words
So I’ll be here to take the pain
And you can make me out the same
If that’s what it takes to love yoursеlf again
[Chorus]
You can hate me
But I’ll still be thеre when you need me
If it makes you feel better, then break me
I’ll be the one left in pieces
If that’s what it takes
[Verse 2]
I’ll go get all my things
Throw them in the flames
Just get it off your chest
The shit you gotta say
I admit it, it was different
We were only kids, who we kiddin’?
Put a hit on my name if that’s what it takes
[Chorus]
You can hate me (Hate)
But I’ll still be there when you need me (Need me, yeah, yeah)
If it makes you feel better, then break me (Break)
I’ll be the one left in pieces (Left in pieces, oh)
If that’s what it takes (Yeah)
[Post-Chorus]
If that’s what it takes (Hmm)
If that’s what it takes (Ooh, ah, oh)
If that’s what it takes (Yeah)
If that’s what it takes
If that’s what it takes (Hey)
Girl, you can hate me (If that’s what it takes)
[Outro]
Hate me
But I’ll still be there when you need me
If it makes you feel better, then break me
I’ll be the one left in pieces
Oh, if that’s what it takes
