I Hate Myself Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I hate myself for making you cry
Forgive me darling for days gone by
I hate myself for breaking your heart
I’ve been so lonesome since we’ve been apart

[Verse 2]
Why won’t you take me back again, I was wrong, I realize
And can’t you learn to trust me after telling you those lies
It’s you I love there’s nobody else
I know I have hurt you and I hate myself

[Instrumental]

[Outro]
It’s you I love there’s nobody else
I know I have hurt you and I hate myself

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 [?]
