I Would Hate You If I Could

I hear you’ve been telling all your friends
That you’re done with me
Like you always knew things wouldn’t work out
And I’ve been hearing things from people
That I don’t want to talk to
Like it matters who you’re sleeping with now
Can I erase from my mind
Anything that you said
Or any time that we spent with each other?
I don’t want to waste away
Another cell on a memory
When you’re just another meaningless lover
Forget the nights that we spent laughing
Until the morning on your bedroom floor
Without a thought about your roommate
Asleep down the hall
Forget the days we’d waste in bed
Tangledm the smoke still on your breath
Undressed and pinning you up to the wall
I swore I heard you talking
When I was tossing in my sleep
You were always trying to walk in circles around me
I was out one night when I saw you
And you froze me where I stood
I would hate you, I would hate you if I could
Forget the nights that we spent laughing
Until he morning on your bedroom floor
Without a thought about your roommate
Asleep down the hall
Forget the days we’d waste in bed
Tangled, the smoke still on your breath
Undressed and pinning you up to the wall
I would hate you
But I’m not finished yet
I would hate you
But I’m not finished yet
Even you, up on that pedestal
The time will come when
You will deconstruct yourself and
Remake what you are
When it does you’ll remember me
And the words I spoke and wonder
How you ever could have strayed so far
