I WISH I COULD HATE YOU FOR BREAKING ME AND CALLING IT LOVE Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Holding my breath, playing pretend
Acting like you'll never hurt me again

And why does your love come with a punch
That I'll keep takin' again and again?


[Pre-Chorus]
How many times will you apologize
And say that you're ready to change?

[Chorus]
I wish I could hate you
For breaking me, callin' it love, I made you
Stay when you wanted to run, tell you
I can't love the same 'cause you threw me away

And why couldn't I be enough?

[Verse 2]
And sometimes I felt being somebody else
'Cause you never cared even 'til the end

If only you'd be just into me
But you keep on fuckin' me up in the head

[Chorus]
I wish I could hate you
For breaking me, callin' it love, I made you
Stay when you wanted to run, tell you
I can't love the same 'cause you threw me away
And why couldn't I be enough?
Oh, oh, oh, oh-oh, oh, oh

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
