The Posies
I May Hate You Sometimes (alternate version)
Here we are--only been a couple of years
Maybe longer
Yes it's true--I'm no good at being the strong man
You're stronger
But I think--maybe you should take a good look
At my feelings
Can't you see--I'm another one just like you
A human being
I don't want to have to sacrifice to have to get along
I don't ever want to be the one to say I'm wrong
I may hate you sometimes, but I'll always love you
What did you say--it's so hard for me to remember
What you meant
How did it happen--was it preconcieved
Or a complete accident
I still recall--we were once happy together
Smiling faces
But things have changed--And now you're only happy when
I remember where my place is
I don't want to have to live up to your expectations
I don't ever want to be the one to end relations
I may hate
Do you think you could treat me
Like somebody special
I can't be everything to everybody
Could I at least be something to you?
Don't look so surprised--I'm a little smarter
Than every other weakling
Say no more--I know exactly what you're going to say
Without you speaking
A familiar phrase--I've heard it said often before
Please forgive me
Don't be a fool--if I can't live with myself
How could you live with me?
Now that I'm filled with emotion you're dispassionate
You only live for yourself while I live to regret
But don't ever think that I could easily forget
Because I'm damned if I do and I'm damned if I don't
I said that I would but now I know that I won't
And the chance of being right is looking kind of remote
I may hate you sometimes (x3)
But I'll always love you
I may hate you sometimes but I'll always love you
