I'm Gonna Hate When You Go Lyrics

You lie there peacefully on the bed beside me,
Your breath is soft and warm against my nose.
I'm gonna hate you when you go.

Your legs are twitching,
I hear a ticking...
The bomb in my chest is gonna blow...
I'm gonna hate you when you go,
I'm gonna hate you when you go.

I love you now...
...but I'm gonna hate you.

I'll burn your pictures,
I'll build an altar
to the careless gods who let such things unfold.
That's miles from you and me,
I love you fiercely,
I lie beside you fragile and exposed,
so I'm gonna hate you when you go.
I'm gonna hate you when you go.

I love you now, but I'm gonna hate you...

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.

The title of this song betrays what I think is the real meaning, which is: please never leave, I love and need you. The line "I lie beside you fragile and exposed", seems to be where the title gets its thought. The idea that someone can make themselves so vulnerable to another person, so fragile and exposed, is quite romantic and loving. Isn't that what love should be like? A dangerous exposure of our true selves. I wish I had thought of this song.
