"Why Can't You Hate Me?" lyrics

God I hate myself, I make me sick
Why the hell would anyone want part of this?
Who would ever jump on board a sinking ship
With their sword drawn high?
And now you're taking up a fight that's not your own
I wish that you would stop, just let me go
But you carry on like I'm invincible
With your sword drawn high

I'm not the hero that you hoped
I'm just a man who plays the role
So if you love me save yourself
'Cause there's no saving me from hell

Why can't you hate me?
Just tell me I'm not worth the love you give
How can you trust me?
When all I make is broken promises
Why don't you leave me?
I'll only hurt us both again and again
Why can't you hate me?
'Cause God I hate myself

God I hate myself for all I did
Oh how I'd give anything to just forget
Still you love me for me
And you forgive all the wrong I've done
And surely I deserve the worst you have
But you tell me to march on and never look back
How could anyone see me and not my past
With the wrong I've done?

I'm not the hero that you hoped
I'm just a man who plays the role
So if you love me save yourself
'Cause there's no saving me from hell

Why can't you hate me?
Just tell me I'm not worth the love you give
How can you trust me?
When all I make is broken promises
Why don't you leave me?
I'll only hurt us both again and again
Why can't you hate me?
'Cause God I hate myself

Why don't you leave me?
I'll only break your heart again and again
Why can't you hate me
Like I hate myself
