It would be easier for me
To hate myself forever
Than to hate you for a minute
Why can’t you see?

You can read me like a book
Break down my walls with a look
By just grabbing me by the hand
And hold me up when I can’t stand
It’s always so easy for you
To know exactly what to do
Holding me close when I start to cry
And always know when I lie
You’re the one I know is there
To protect me from what I fear
But what am I supposed to do
When what I fear is now you

It would be easier for me
To hate myself forever
Than to hate you for a minute
Why can’t you see?

I don’t want my trust for you to end
Or to ever say you’re not my friend
But what else am I supposed to do
When I don’t want to be hurt by you
Knowing that you can break me apart
Is the reason I’m guarding my heart
It’s better for me to push you away
Then possibly have you hurt me one day
You promise me that day will never come
But my past experiences tells me to run
The truth is I want you to always be here
But I need your intentions to be sincere

It would be easier for me
To hate myself forever
Than to hate you for a minute
Why can’t you see?
