why can't you hate me?

God, I hate myself, I make me sick Why the hell would anyone want part of this? Who would ever jump on board a sinking ship With their sword drawn high?

And now you're takin' up a fight that's not your own I wish that you would stop, just let me go But you carry on like I'm invincible With your sword drawn high

I'm not the hero that you hoped I'm just a man who plays the role So, if you love me, save yourself 'Cause there's no savin' me from hell

Why can't you hate me? Just tell me I'm not worth the love you give How can you trust me When all I made is broken promises?

And why don't you leave me? I'll only hurt us both again and again Why can't you hate me? 'Cause god, I hate myself

God, I hate myself for all I did Oh, how I'd give anything to just forget Still you love me for me and you forgive All the wrong I've done

And surely I deserve the worst you have But you tell me to march on and never look back How could anyone see me and not my past With the wrong I've done?

I'm not the hero that you hoped I'm just a man who plays the role So, if you love me, save yourself 'Cause there's no savin' me from hell

Why can't you hate me? Just tell me I'm not worth the love you give How can you trust me When all I made is broken promises?

And why don't you leave me? I'll only hurt us both again and again Why can't you hate me? 'Cause god, I hate myself

Why don't you leave me? I'll only break your heart again and again And why can't you hate me Like I hate myself?
