You love to hate me

I told you my life was easy

But as dishonest as things go

I'm lying to you through

A fake smile

A fake gesture

And a fake laugh

That hides my tears

I told you I hated you

But as untrue as things go

I'm lying to you with

A forged grimace

A forged glare

And a forged stomp

That hides how much I want to turn back to you

I wish I could tell you I love you

But though

It's as honest as things go

You'd turn me away

Leave me in a corner

And push me from your mind

I love you

But I hate my mistakes

I hate to love you
