(In the midst of your pride
and ego,
I was merely
a loser.
Your terrible
hatred
trampled
upon my heart.)
Your smile,
my defeat.
(The war you waged,
my love.
You didn't love,
I was the one at fault.)*
Chorus(Why did you hate me?)***
[Bridge]
I kept your name on my tongue
like it could fix what you broke
Sat in the kitchen half the night
with the tap dripping slow
You stood there clean in your good clothes
while I picked pieces off the floor
Now I can see it plain
you needed me small to feel more
Chorus(Why did you hate me?)***
