I don't Hate You
I don't hate you, I'm not mad at you
 But I hate what you've done 
 And I'm mad we were never who we were going to be
 
 I thought you loved me, you said so every night
 "I love you, do you love me?" you asked into the phone 
 And you'd make me say yes before I left
 
 But when I finally did you turned around
 You changed your mind, how could you so fast? 
 
 All week I only wanted to hear you call me baby in that voice of yours
 Sending tinkles to my fingers
 The way you'd call me a fruitcake when I said something funny
 
 I couldn't call you all weekend 
 Your name soon erased from my recent calls list
 The one name I could always count on being there and I'd smile just at the sight when I looked
 
 I carried my phone in my pocket all day
 Hoping maybe you'd call back with a change of mind
 
 I wanted you more than anything
 To wrap my leg around yours under the table at lunch
 Share a secret pat on the knee where no one would see
 Lay my hand over your heart and feel it race just by me touching you
 Pull you behind a wall and kiss you on the lips after school 
 
 It hurt everytime I saw you, I got a longing feeling
 Something I didn't quit no all too well
 I thought we were at least friends, but you didn't speak, not even look the next day
 
 You don't know how it felt to want you so much and for you to say goodbye
 But it was on top of that to see you everyday at school with your back turned to me speaking to three other girls
 Not even a "hello" or wave had come towards me
 
 I became mad, jealous, angry, and said I hated you
 But I forgive you now
 And let the truth be known, I never hated you
 I only hated what you did and how we never got to be what we were going to be
 You wrecked it, it's  not ok but I'll live
