Why You Hate Me

Verse 1

I held the door for you

Watched you walk right past

I left the light on late

You never called back

I traced your name in fog

On the bathroom mirror

Erased it with my sleeve

The cold got clearer

Pre-Chorus

Why the quiet

Why the sideways stare

Why the empty chair

Chorus

Tell me why you hate me so much

Was it something I said

Was it something I did

Tell me why you hate me so much

I'm bleeding on the floor

And you won't look down

Verse 2

I fixed your broken fence

Painted it your shade

You drove by without a wave

Like I was just a shade

I kept your secret safe

Buried in my chest

But you dug it up anyway

And wore it like a vest

Pre-Chorus

Why the cold shoulder

Why the turning head

Why the words unsaid

Chorus

Tell me why you hate me so much

Was it something I said

Was it something I did

Tell me why you hate me so much

I'm bleeding on the floor

And you won't look down

Bridge

Maybe I loved too loud

Maybe I stayed too long

Maybe I was just a mirror

Showing you what's wrong

Chorus

Tell me why you hate me so much

Was it something I said

Was it something I did

Tell me why you hate me so much

I'm bleeding on the floor

And you won't look down

You won't look down

You won't look down
