[Verse 1]
Why do I say those things?
Why do I talk like that?
The more that I hurt you, the less that my words do
When I try to take it all back
Why do I mess things up
When I'm not tryna mess things up?
I know I've been stressed, say I'm doing my best
But I know that that isn't enough

[Pre-Chorus]
To excuse it
Now all my excuses
Aren't enough to undo this
So, why do I do this?

[Chorus]
I love you, please don't hate me
I put you through so much, baby
I'm so sick of startin' every sentence with, "I'm sorry"
But I love you, please don't hate me
Know it's all I'm saying lately
I'm so sick of startin' every sentence with, "I'm sorry"
But I love you, please don't hate me
Oh, I love you, please don't hate me
[Verse 2]
You know that I hate myself
So you don't have to hate me too
I'll make a joke just to cope in the hope
That you see me the way that you used to

[Pre-Chorus]
Without the excuses
Now all my excuses
Aren't enough to undo this
So, why do I do this? Oh, woah

[Chorus]
I love you, please don't hate me
I put you through so much, baby
I'm so sick of startin' every sentence with, "I'm sorry"
But I love you, please don't hate me
Know it's all I'm saying lately
I'm so sick of startin' every sentence with, "I'm sorry"
But I love you, please don't hate me
I love you, please don't hate me

[Bridge]
'Cause, one day, I'll ask for forgiveness
And you'll say, "I can't, babe
No, I can't forgive this"
[Chorus]
I love you, please don't hate me
Oh, I'm so sick of startin' every sentence with, "I'm sorry"
But I love you, please don't hate me
Know it's all I'm saying lately
I'm so sick of startin' every sentence with, "I'm sorry"
But I love you, please don't hate me
I love you, please don't hate me
