H.A.T.E.U. Lyrics

Once upon a time
We swore not to say goodbye
Something got a hold of us and we changed
And then you sat alone in pride
And I sat at home and cried
How did our fairy tale just end up this way?

We went
Round for round till we knocked love out
We were laying in the ring
Not making a sound
And if there's a metaphor of you and I
Why is it so hard to say goodbye?

I can't wait to hate you
Make you pain like I do
Still can't shake you off
I can't wait to break through these emotional changes
Seems like such a lose cause
I can't wait to face you
Break you down so low there's no place left to go
I can't wait to h.a.t.e.u...

Ooh, this was a love phenomenon
No one could explain
And I wish I could press reset
And feel this feeling again
I sit and press rewind
And watch us every night
Wanna pause it but I can't make it stay
Just gotta let it play

We went
Round for round till we knocked love out
We were laying in the ring
Not making a sound
And if there's a metaphor of you and I
Why is it so hard to say goodbye?

I can't wait to hate you
Make you pain like I do
Still can't shake you off
I can't wait to break through these emotional changes
Seems like such a lose cause
I can't wait to face you
Break you down so low there's no place left to go
I can't wait to h.a.t.e.u...

No need to call my phone 'cause I changed my number today
A matter of fact I think I'm moving away (away)
Sorry the frustration's got me feeling a way
And I just keep having one last thing to say
And I just wanna hold you, touch you, feel you, be near you
I miss you baby baby baby
I'm tired of trying to fake through
But there's nothing I can do
Boy I can't wait to h.a.t.e.u...

I can't wait to hate you
Make you pain like I do
Still can't shake you off
I can't wait to break through these emotional changes
Seems like such a lose cause
I can't wait to face you
Break you down so low there's no place left to go
I can't wait to h.a.t.e.u. baby...

I can't wait to h-a-t-e-u
'Cause right now I need you
Can't wait make you go...

This is my favorite song on the album! This is such a beautiful song. I heard her in an interview saying that it stands for Have A Total Emotional Upset. Genius.... Her song writing ability is definitely underrated. I'm sure a lot of people can relate to just wanting to get to the point where they 'hate' the person they loved.

I'm not a huge fan but this is such a good song. I listened to the samples on itunes and this is the only song on her new album that caught my attention.

I wish she wouldve called it simply "hate you" because the current title seems to make it immature and childish and shes a grown woman and this is a mature song and the title will limit the audience.

but she is an impeccable and unappreciated songwriter.

i think it would help her career to find a protoge or begin writing for other artists instead of continuing singing since the public seems to be sick of her/uninterested.

great song though
