Verse 1:
Does he love you like I do?
I still remember the way you’d hold me close,
Every word you said, every touch we used to know.
He might be there, but does he know you like I do?
I hate to admit it, but baby, I still need you.
Chorus:
I only hate you 'cause I love you,
Can't escape these feelings that I’m running from.
I only hate you 'cause I want you,
Do you regret the day you turned and walked away?
Broke my heart in two, oh, it's true,
I said I’ve been fine, but I’ve been missing you.
Verse 2:
The days go by and I keep pretending,
That I’m okay with the way we ended.
But deep inside, I’m still waiting for the day
You’d come back to me and take my pain away.
Chorus:
I only hate you 'cause I love you,
Can’t escape these feelings that I’m running from.
I only hate you 'cause I want you,
Do you regret the day you turned and walked away?
Broke my heart in two, oh, it’s true,
I said I’ve been fine, but I’ve been missing you.
Verse 3:
Every corner of this town reminds me of you,
From the café where we laughed to the places we once knew.
I keep searching for a sign that you’re still out there,
But all I find are echoes of a love that we used to share.
Chorus:
I only hate you 'cause I love you,
Can’t escape these feelings that I’m running from.
I only hate you 'cause I want you,
Do you regret the day you turned and walked away?
Broke my heart in two, oh, it’s true,
I said I’ve been fine, but I’ve been missing you.
Bridge:
I tried to move on, but your shadow stays,
Haunting every night, every dawn of day.
I keep on holding on to what we had,
The memories linger, good and bad.
Chorus:
I only hate you 'cause I love you,
Can’t escape these feelings that I’m running from.
I only hate you 'cause I want you,
Do you regret the day you turned and walked away?
Broke my heart in two, oh, it’s true,
I said I’ve been fine, but I’ve been missing you.
Outro:
I still love you, I still need you,
Even though it’s tearing me apart.
I only hate you 'cause I love you,
And I’ve been missing you, oh, missing you from the start.
