If I could hate myself half as much as I hated you

by AllHailTheHeartbreaker   Jan 29, 2006


Is this real?
This thing
that I feel?

Is this true?
This rumor
about you?

Because if it is
then I need out
of this town...
right now.

If I could hate myself
half as much
as I hated you
I'd be dead by now.

But if I hated myself
half as much
as I hated you
I'd have realized I love you by now.

The song on my radio
tells the story of my emotions--
rejected, neglected, alone.

I feel like singing this song
to the whole world
to tell them that you were wrong.

If I could hate myself
half as much
as I hated you
I'd be dead by now.

But if I hated myself
half as much
as I hated you
I'd have realized I love you by now.

Then suddenly its all done
you're dead -- over
and I can't believe you're gone.

Maybe its better off this way.
The blood on your shirt
is the last thing you needed to say.

And I realize that it won't be forever
but I still can't help but try
to write you this letter:

If I could hate myself
half as much
as I hated you
I'd be dead by now.

But if I hated myself
half as much
as I hated you
I'd have realized I love you by now.

~I wrote the words for this song for my friend in a rock band. Please let me know what you think, and I know that putting it up on here won't do it nearly as much justice as hearing it in person.
