Lyrics
I love you I hate you I love you I hate you I love you
So much I would give my life for this If the bullet was the beat I would probably die for this How many times did I cry for this? I would hate myself if I didn’t at least try for this What’s at stake is bigger than me Blood tears how it stains can’t rid it with ease What we have in common is our pain we’re given the keys To unlock what it takes to fight for what we believe in Hard to confront the truth of what you see in the mirror Some people you inspire and others you trigger Fighting in blind faith led by the internal voice You might not wanna do it but you don’t have a choice Will the pressure take me to new heights or be my demise Will my intentions coincide with what I advise The people looking up to me doing everything right But who am I to tell anyone how to live their life? Your pain threshold will determine if you survive I’m amazed by it Lying to myself pretending I was never phased by it Maybe cos you’re in my DNA that’s why
I love you I hate you I love you Sometimes I hate you Always I love you But right now I hate you I love you I hate you
You made a promise to God to be there for your kids You made a promise to give them a life you didn’t live My ego won’t fully allow me to say that I miss you A woman who hasn’t confronted all her daddy issues The day would come when you gotta find all the answers to your sins Pressures of providing feeling unhappy within Or what kind of external family shit up on your plate But I understand wanting and needing an escape Too much unsaid now the silence giving me headaches Only through speech can we let go of all this dead weight Even though I’m angry don’t wanna be disrespectful Tryna figure out how to approach this in the best way Hard to not carry these feelings even on my best days Never thought my parent would give me my first heartbreak Anxiety giving me irregular heart rate Used to avoid getting into how I really feel about this now I see how fickle life can be and so it can’t wait Shoulda been the person there to hold me on my dark days It’s easier to stargaze And wish than be faced with this reality Is you a sperm donor or a dad to me and still
I love you I hate you I love you I hate you Always I love you But right now I hate you Always I love you I hate you
On this mission you live and you learn The world don’t show you no mercy from birth How do you humanise your hero? Round here you're only respected if earned Half hearted sorry’s cant let your guard down To get to nirvana where do you start out? Angry cos they don’t meet your unrealistic standards Then you realise that they're human and you calm down Sometimes I’m unbalanced and I think rah why am I losing my steps? Lately I’m paranoid I feel my life is a mess I’m just using my voice hope it will have an effect He was just once a boy I often seem to forget Looking at Polaroid’s of pictures secretly kept You know what was destroyed but you don’t know what was left Tryna phase out the noise of all you hear in your head Everything is a choice and anything can be said Is you missing the point are you just hearing me vent? Or is you in understanding knowing my words will connect? I keep you in my prayers cos life is short as we know Every mistake you make should contribute to your growth What you choose to avoid will probably come in your dreams I’m not forgiving for you man I’m forgiving for me
And sometimes I love you I hate you Sometimes I love you Sometimes I hate you Always I love you I hate you I love you I hate you
