I Hate That
Lyrics
I Hate That

The sun feels warm on my skin, I hate that.
Folks greet me and smile, I hate that too.
My old team scored a win, I hate that.
Life is mundane, not the same without you.

Chorus
I hate that I’ve been a jerk
Cheated when I meant to flirt
You left me like an old shirt in a laundromat
I deserve it and I hate that

So now I live on my own, I hate that.
Friends phone, I hate that I hate that too.
Dog and I sleep alone, I hate that.
Life whirls around, drags me down without you.

I hate that I’ve been a jerk
Cheated when I meant to flirt
I never had a chance to beg you to come back
I deserve it and I hate that

Instrumental

You live right here in my mind, I hate that.
Dream you’re at my side, I hate that too
My love just will not die, I hate that
Life in a haze, every day without you

I hate that I’ve been a jerk
Cheated when I meant to flirt
And when I call you hang up in nothing flat
I deserve it and I hate that
I deserve it and I hate that
And God knows that I love you
