I Would Hate You If I Could

(专辑： Peripheral Vision - 2015)

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, tangled,
The smoke still on your breath,
Undressed and pinning you up to the wall.

And 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 the 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.

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.
