10 Things You Hate About Me
Unveiling Heartbreak: 10 Revelations in '10 Things You Hate About Me'
Lyrics
let me ask you just one question
Asking a single question
are we too far gone
Wondering if the relationship is beyond repair
three words we were unmasking
Revealing three words
for you it took too long
You took a long time to understand
five minutes ever lasting
Short moments that feel endless
in a hotel downtown
Describing a location where something significant happened
we’ve been together since sixteen
Been in this relationship since age 16
is it all over now?
Questioning if it's all over now
seven minutes left in heaven
Almost at the end of a heavenly moment
but you ate my heart
You hurt me deeply
1990 till forever
From 1990 until forever, implying a long time
thrown in one last dart
A final attempt or effort
you’re with a new guy and he’s not me
You’re with someone new
i’m jesus christ he’s a lowercase t
Comparing oneself to someone else, emphasizing the disparity
list em off - come and sing it
Inviting to list things disliked about oneself
“10 things you hate about me”
Asking for a list of dislikes
i said i was sorry
Apologizing
it’s all my fault that there’s
Blaming oneself
the irony is i don’t hate you
Expressing no hatred towards the other person
no not at all baby
Reiterating the lack of hatred
it’s a 10 step program
Describing a program involving steps to change
10 things you hate about me
Reiterating a request for a list of dislikes
3 summers together
Detailing three summers spent together
3 summers away
Three summers spent apart
for years i’ve loved you
Expressing years of love
let me count the days
Counting the days since separation or difficulty
i remember i met ya
Recalling the first meeting
we were both 16
Both parties were 16 at the time
at the park past curfew
Recollecting a moment together beyond curfew
skateboard in the rain
A specific memory involving skateboarding in the rain
in the summer we were baskin
Remembering enjoyable moments together
whose texting you phone and i’ll quit asking
Asking about who is contacting via phone
