"Hate Myself" lyrics

"Hate Myself"

Could it be different?
Did I ruin the day?
Oh do you look angry?
Oh what did I say?

Filling in the gaps
Build a problem that
Neither of us need
Something wrong with me

I'm getting desperate
Losing my mind
Oh how do we get here
Every time?

One will fold their arms
One will do the dance
Really is no need
Something wrong with me

No, I don't think
I can help it
(No)

Oh so illogical
I'm not magical
I can't read your mind
But how can you not hear
The whole conversation I have sitting still with a brain on fire?
I know it's a me thing
Eyes closed isn't helping
When you go quiet I hate myself
When you go quiet I hate myself

Look at you sideways
Playing a game
Oh what if I laugh now?
I think I'm insane

Filling in the gaps
Build a problem that
Neither of us need
Something wrong with me

Pushing a boundary
Something to prove
Strong expectation
You already lose

Oh one will fold their arms
One will do the dance
Really is no need
Something wrong with me

No, I don't think
I can help it

Oh so illogical
I'm not magical
I can't read your mind
But how can you not hear
The whole conversation I have sitting still with a brain on fire?
I know it's a me thing
Eyes closed isn't helping
When you go quiet I hate myself
When you go quiet I hate myself

Give me a mystery
Maybe they'll bloom for me
It's always the quiet ones
Oh something here must be done
I'm open and ready here
I don't think they get me, dear
I'm only proving how
I'm only worth losing now

Give me a mystery
Maybe they'll bloom for me
It's always the quiet ones
Something here must be done
I'm open and ready here
I don't think they get me, dear
(When you go quiet I hate myself)
I don't think they get me, dear

Give me a mystery
Maybe they'll bloom for me
It's always the quiet ones
Something here must be done
I'm open and ready here
I don't think they get me, dear
(When you go quiet I hate myself)
I don't think they get me, dear

No, I don't think (I don't think they get me)
I can help it (I don't think they get me)
No, I don't think (I don't think they get me)
I can help it (I don't think they get me)
(When you go quiet I hate myself)
No, I don't think (I don't think they get me)
I can help it (I don't think they get me)
No, I don't think (I don't think they get me)
I can help it
(When you go quiet I hate myself)
No, I don't think
I can help it


"Hate Myself" is the third single from Dodie's debut studio album "Build a Problem". The song was released on the 12th of January 2021, accompanied by a music video directed by Sammy Paul. Dodie said about it, "The music video is filmed over the span of a few days in the beautiful seaside village of Polperro in Cornwall, and also a boat in London."
The lines "Build a problem that neither of us need" gave the name to the album this song belongs to.
Dodie told about this song, "It's actually about passive aggression. It's interesting. It's more about when—I think it's like a feeling that I have to deal with when someone else in my life, be it a partner or a friend, like, goes quiet, like, thinks introspectively and deals with their problems internally. I freak out, 'cause I'm like, 'I'm the problem.' Like, 'What have I done to make you feel upset?' And that's probably coming from past trauma."
