Lyrics
I hate most people but I don't hate you
I have a general dislike for most people, but I don't feel the same way about you.
If I missed my chance what would I be left to do?
If I missed my opportunity, what would be my purpose or course of action?
I thought I was heartless heartless yeah
I believed I lacked emotions, particularly compassion or empathy.
I thought I was heartless heartless yeah
Reiteration of the feeling of being heartless.
'Til I met you
My perception changed when I encountered you.
Betray me betray me
Expressing a desire to be betrayed.
So I could be wrong
Expressing a willingness to admit being wrong.
So I could never see the light
Wishing to remain in the dark or oblivious to certain truths.
So I could be alone
Being open to solitude and isolation.
But you won't but you won't
Anticipating betrayal but doubting it will happen.
But you won't
Repetition of the doubt regarding betrayal.
And that's why
Introducing the reason for the contradictory feelings - love.
I love you
Expressing love for the person despite conflicting emotions.
Love you love you love you yeah
Reiteration of the expression of love.
Love you love you love you yeah
Continued affirmation of love.
That's why
Reiteration of the reason for the conflicting emotions - love.
I love you
Reaffirming love despite the dislike for most people.
I hate most people but I don't hate you
Restating the general dislike for most people but exempting the person being addressed.
Too many years thinking we wouldn't make it through
Reflecting on the years spent doubting the relationship's endurance.
I know we got money problems now
Acknowledging financial difficulties in the relationship.
And you're trying to get out your house but you don't want to feel left out feel left out
Understanding the partner's desire to improve their situation and avoid feeling left out.
It's okay my mama prayed that we wouldn't live this way
Mentioning a mother's prayer for a better life.
If we could see the stars
Pondering what the stars would say if they could communicate.
What would they say?
Continuing the theme of contemplating cosmic perspectives.
Betray me betray me
Reiteration of the desire to be betrayed.
So I could be wrong
Expressing a willingness to accept being wrong.
So I could never see the light
Preferring to remain in the dark rather than facing certain truths.
So I could be alone
Being open to solitude and isolation.
But you won't but you won't
Anticipating betrayal but doubting it will happen.
But you won't
Repetition of the doubt regarding betrayal.
And that's why
Introducing the reason for the contradictory feelings - love.
I love you
Expressing love for the person despite conflicting emotions.
Love you love you love you yeah
Reiteration of the expression of love.
Love you love you love you yeah
Continued affirmation of love.
That's why
Reiteration of the reason for the conflicting emotions - love.
I love you
Reaffirming love despite the dislike for most people.
I love you
Repetition of the declaration of love.
I love you
Final repetition of the declaration of love.
