I Hate You For This One Thing Lyrics

I had something to tell you
Something about me that I wanted to tell you 'cause I was scared
I remember all the good times we had
And how much you cared
And how I wouldn't risk it for the world

So I held it in
I pretended to be what you wanted
I wanted to tell you but you made it clear
How you felt, by things you said

So up went the walls and I shut myself in
Into the misery, the misery
I had no one to go to
I had no one else to go to
So I buried my secret nice and deep
And tried not to hate myself

Thanks a lot

Now I'm older and I know
You were the one who was supposed to show me
I could be anything that I wanted to be
But oh not that, not who I really was, who I really am

You know that every time you said those things, it came back down on me
It would haunt me in my nightmares and when I was awake
And I know you didn't plan on this
You thought it was best for me, and you were wrong
And you know that I still love you
But at the same time, when I recall my suffering, I hate you for this one thing

I Think I Might Believe In Santa Claus This Year

It's All Coming Down

She's Better Than Skittles

What Would YOU Do In This Situation?

I Don't Want Part Of This

I had something to tell you
Something about me that I wanted to tell you 'cause I was scared
I remember all the good times we had
And how much you cared
And how I wouldn't risk it for the world

So I held it in
I pretended to be what you wanted
I wanted to tell you but you made it clear 
How you felt, by things you said

So up went the walls and I shut myself in
Into the misery, the misery
I had no one to go to 
I had no one else to go to
So I buried my secret nice and deep
And tried not to hate myself

Thanks a lot

Now I'm older and I know
You were the one who was supposed to show me
I could be anything that I wanted to be
But oh not that, not who I really was, who I really am

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.
