I Hate Love

Your words are pretty but I already know who you are
I knew you before you met me long before we would part
Before you tricked me and laid on my bones
Before you kissed me and buried my hope
Before you stole my spirit and rode the show into the wall
They shore you up
They lay all their dreams on you
They let you in and you start to believe you're soft as a miracle
Unfurled I was new and unfurled
Innocent and open as any lamb and hoping for paradise
Yeah I hate love
Yeah I hate love
So I hate love
Yeah I hate love
Love makes you desperate and feeling a fool
Love makes you ruthless and love makes you cruel
And love makes you crazy with nothing but lies
Love promises nothing and then your love dies
Unfurled I was new and unfurled
Innocent and open as any lamb
And hoping for paradise
Yeah I hate love
Yeah I hate love
So I hate love
Yeah I hate love
Then your love dies
