Burn Your Hatred
Embrace, Not Enmity: Cass Elliot's Plea to Burn Hatred Away
Lyrics
I've had my say and now I'm through
I've expressed my thoughts, and I'm finished speaking
I've just got to get myself away from you
I need to distance myself from you
You've twisted and you've turned my mind
You've manipulated and confused my thoughts
Because of all the dark I find inside of you
Because of the negativity I see within you
'Side of you, got to let me lie
In your presence, I must deceive myself
Burn your hatred out on someone else!
Direct your hatred towards someone else
I don't need the things you say
I don't need to hear your hurtful words
You're bringing me down every day
Your actions are causing my spirits to decline daily
As well as you
This applies to both of us
We're at the crossroads wet with tears
We are at a critical juncture filled with sorrow
And I don't want to spend my years hating you
I don't want to spend my life despising you
Hating you, got to let me lie
In hating you, I must deceive myself
Burn your hatred out on someone else!
Redirect your hatred towards another person
Although I've tried to get along
Despite my efforts to reconcile
I know that my heart still belongs inside of you
My emotional attachment still lies with you
And all this fighting ain't no use
Our conflicts are futile
Cause in the end I'll just refuse to part from you
Because ultimately, I will resist separating from you
Part from you ' got to let me lie
In parting from you, I must deceive myself
Burn your hatred out on someone else!
Channel your hatred elsewhere
