That's the Part I Hate

Intro – soft, distant vocals

I know what you're gonna say

Before you even say it

That's the part I hate

Mmm

Verse 1

You got that tone you use when you're about to lie

And that little pause before you look me in the eyes

You say you fell asleep, I know you weren't at home

I know the difference between busy and leaving me alone

I used to think that knowing you was something beautiful

Now every little detail makes it harder to let go

I know what makes you angry, what makes you disappear

I know you'll call me Sunday like you never left me here

Pre-Chorus

And I wish I didn't know

How to make you stay

I wish I didn't know

What you're gonna say

Chorus – haunting melodic hook

I hate that I know you

Better than you know yourself

I hate that I want you

When you're bad for my health

I hate that I miss you

When I'm finally doing well

I hate that I love you

More than I love myself

Verse 2

I found your old sweatshirt underneath my bed

It still smells like your cologne and the night you left

I should've thrown it out a hundred times before

But I keep finding reasons not to close that drawer

You say I'm too emotional, I say you're fucking cold

You want somebody who won't ask where you go

I want somebody who won't make me feel insane

We keep asking each other for things we cannot change

Pre-Chorus

And I wish I didn't know

How to make you stay

I wish I didn't know

What you're gonna say

Chorus

I hate that I know you

Better than you know yourself

I hate that I want you

When you're bad for my health

I hate that I miss you

When I'm finally doing well

I hate that I love you

More than I love myself

Bridge – layered, emotional vocals

If I block you, will I stop remembering?

If I move on, will you stop haunting me?

I don't even know what I'm waiting for

You don't live here anymore

And that's the truth I can't get through

I'm still making room for you

Like one day you'll come around

And finally put me first somehow

Final Chorus – fuller harmonies

I hate that I know you

Better than you know yourself

I hate that I want you

When you're bad for my health

I hate that I miss you

When I'm finally doing well

I hate that I love you

More than I love myself

Outro – fading vocals

I know you

I know you

That's the part I hate

I know you
