[Verse 1]
Go ahead, you can say it's my fault
If it still hurts at all
I thought one of these days you might call
When you were feelin' small
[Pre-Chorus]
Drownin' in my thoughts
Starin' at the clock
And I know I'm not on your mind
[Chorus]
I wonder what would happen if I die
I hope all of my friends get drunk and high
Would it be too hard to say goodbye?
I hope that it's enough to make you cry
Maybe that day, you won't hate me
[Verse 2]
Go ahead, you can say that I've changed
Just say it to my face
One drink and I'm back to that place (To that place)
The memories won't fade (Won't fade)
[Pre-Chorus]
Drownin' in my thoughts (My thoughts)
Starin' at the clock (The clock)
And I know I'm not on your mind
Go ahead, you can say it's my fault
If it still hurts at all
I thought one of these days you might call
When you were feelin' small
[Pre-Chorus]
Drownin' in my thoughts
Starin' at the clock
And I know I'm not on your mind
[Chorus]
I wonder what would happen if I die
I hope all of my friends get drunk and high
Would it be too hard to say goodbye?
I hope that it's enough to make you cry
Maybe that day, you won't hate me
[Verse 2]
Go ahead, you can say that I've changed
Just say it to my face
One drink and I'm back to that place (To that place)
The memories won't fade (Won't fade)
[Pre-Chorus]
Drownin' in my thoughts (My thoughts)
Starin' at the clock (The clock)
And I know I'm not on your mind
[Chorus]
I wonder what would happen if I die
I hope all of my friends get drunk and high
Would it be too hard to say goodbye?
I hope that it's enough to make you cry
Maybe that day (Maybe that day), you won't hate me
[Outro]
Wonder what would happen if I die (If I die)
I hope all of my friends get drunk and high (Oh)
Would it be too hard to say goodbye? (Say goodbye)
I hope that it's enough to make you cry
And maybe that day, you won't hate me
I wonder what would happen if I die
I hope all of my friends get drunk and high
Would it be too hard to say goodbye?
I hope that it's enough to make you cry
Maybe that day (Maybe that day), you won't hate me
[Outro]
Wonder what would happen if I die (If I die)
I hope all of my friends get drunk and high (Oh)
Would it be too hard to say goodbye? (Say goodbye)
I hope that it's enough to make you cry
And maybe that day, you won't hate me
About
Genius Annotation
The song seems to be a response to the negative attention that Cyrus consistently receives from the media and how the media and press surrounding her would suddenly become positive if she died.
Her near-death experience during a flight to Glastonbury Festival might be what triggered her to write about death, as she expressed on stage that the Festival had changed her in many ways:
I ask the universe every day, ‘Give me something that scares the fuck out of me and then I’m going to fucking do it’.
A demo of “Hate Me” leaked in May 2020 labelled as “If I Die,” making it one of a few leaked songs to make it on Plastic Hearts.
