Why Don't You Hate Me? Lyrics

I sit and watch the darkness
slowly disappear
The first rays of sunlight
reflecting in your tear

You said what you can't handle
and never did before
I know you used to love me
but now I'm not so sure

Why don't you hate me?

I sit and watch the moonlight
breaking though the trees
It feels like it is crawling
revealing its disease

Maybe you don't need me
And never did before
Now you have to hate me
Cause this is what I'm for

Why don't you hate me?

As I begin to wonder
what has happened here
my sudden disappointment
slowly disappear

I remember all you mentioned
and never did before
I wanted you to hate me
and now I'm not so sure

Why don't you hate me?
Why don't you hate me?
Tell me why

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

When every immature breakup we've ever had always meant suddenly becoming our ex's enemy, our first mature breakup where it doesn't have to be anyone's "fault" that things aren't working out can come as a disorienting shock. We're prepared to be loathed, even loathing ourselves for being unable to avert the breakup and the heartache of it... and then the expected animosity doesn't appear. "Let's be friends" turns out to be just that; we've lost a lover yet ultimately have still gained a fond friend instead of yet another new enemy. "What has happened here? Why don't you hate me? After all, that's what I deserve for breaking your heart... er, isn't it?"
