i hate when you say you need me
you don't need me
i hate even worse that i need you
it kills me
when i was young i loved to be
by myself, all alone
now that i'm older, i'm scared of
myself all alone-
so lay with me, my love

i hate when you say you know me
you don't know me
what i hate even worse is
i know you- you're no mystery
you refuse to acknowledge how much
you can't stand who i am
i've been trying to tell you that
i've been a terror of a man

..i hate. it when you call
so lonesome after the bar
i know i should hang up the phone
but i never do
