[Verse 1]
I heard you laughing at me in dreams misunderstood
I was reminded how easy it was to hate just 'cause I could
A villain, I saw clearly, a problem I could solve
I'd climb, and I'd climb, oh, my fire, it left us cold

[Chorus]
Hating you ruined me
I made mistakes that I can't erase
Oh, I've broken through blinding grief
This twisted shame that I always aim
At the wrong, the wrong people, and shoot

[Verse 2]
You asked me not to change, but to stay the same is a lie
We're different from yesterday, it's the only way we can thrive
I was on this path, and I'll step back up to the task
I'll fight, and I'll fight for redemption and for us

[Chorus]
Hating you ruined me
I made mistakes that I can't erase
Oh, I've broken through blinding grief
This twisted shame that I always aim
At the wrong, the wrong people, and shoot
[Bridge]
There is a call on the wind
Are you in? Will you stay?
We'll gain back ground long after

[Chorus]
Hating you ruined me
I made mistakes that I can't erase
Oh, I've broken through blinding grief
This twisted shame that I always aim
At the wrong, the wrong people, and shoot
Hating you ruined me
I've broken through finally
Forgive me
