Blue October - Hate Me

I have to block out
thoughts of you
so I don't lose my head
They crawl in like a cockroach
leaving babies in my bed
Dropping little reels of tape
to remind me that I'm alone
Playing movies in my head
that make a porno feel like home
There's a burning in my pride
a nervous bleeding in my brain
An ounce of peace is
all I want for you
will you never call again
And will you never say
that you love me
just to put it in my face
And will you never
try to reach me
it is I that wanted space
Hate me today
Hate me tomorrow
Hate me for all the things
I didn't do for you
Hate me in ways
Yeah ways hard to swallow
Hate me so you can finally
see what's good for you
I'm sober now for 3 whole months
it's one accomplishment
that you helped me with
The one thing that always
tore us apart is the one thing
I won't touch again
And in a sick way
I want to thank you for holding
my head up late at night
While I was busy waging
wars with myself
you were trying to stop the fight
You never doubted
my warped opinions on things
like suicidal hate
You made me compliment myself
when it was way too hard to take
So I'll drive so fucking far away
that I never cross your mind
And do whatever it takes
in your heart
to leave me behind
Hate me today
Hate me tomorrow
Hate me for all the things
I didn't do for you
Hate me in ways
Yeah ways hard to swallow
Hate me so you can finally
see what's good for you
And with a sad heart
I say bye to you and wave
Kicking shadows on the street
for every mistake
that I had made
And like a baby boy
I never was a man
Until I saw your blue eyes cry
and I held your face in my hand
And then fell down yelling
make it go away
Just make her smile come back
and shine just like it used to be
And then she whispered
how can you do this to me
Hate me today
Hate me tomorrow
Hate me for all the things
I didn't do for you
Hate me in ways
Yeah ways hard to swallow
Hate me so you can finally
see what's good for you
for you
for you
for you
