Her glance can make you short of breath
Your heart stop dead inside your chest
She has what words just can't express
She gives a kiss that's cursed and says-
"I hate to love"

A word, a song, a smile, a tear
She doesn't care for me, it's clear
I'll never tell but it hurt like hell
To see her turn and disappear
I hate to love
I hate to love

She's laughing beside someone else
And I'm alone beside myself
She's like no one else

Hung by my rope, strung out, hurt
Let it drop, it just won't work
Stretch my neck
Across the block
Heart in my hand, axe in hers
While she says
"I hate to love"
I hate to love
So I do without, and die within
Once we were two, it wore too thin
It just wore thin

I hate to love
It hurts too much
Every time
The time is up
