Full Lyrics of “Hate Me”
Verse 1:
“I’m standing on a ledge, and I’m screaming at the sky
I’m wondering why my heart can’t just let this die
And I’m crying out for help, but I’m afraid to fall
I’m spinning around in circles, I’m losing it all”
Chorus:
“So hate me, go ahead and hate me
I deserve it, I’m gonna take it
But I’m never gonna let it get me down
No, I’m never gonna let it get me down”
Verse 2:
“I’m trying to break away, but I’m stuck in my head
I’m searching for the strength, but it’s nowhere to be found
And I’m trying to make sense, but I can’t understand
I’m trying to make it better, but I’m just making it worse”
Chorus:
“So hate me, go ahead and hate me
I deserve it, I’m gonna take it
But I’m never gonna let it get me down
No, I’m never gonna let it get me down”
Bridge:
“I’m sorry for the things I said
And for the way I made you feel
I’m sorry for the way I hurt you
And for the pain I caused”
Chorus:
“So hate me, go ahead and hate me
I deserve it, I’m gonna take it
But I’m never gonna let it get me down
No, I’m never gonna let it get me down”
