I hate it when I come home and you're already asleep
I hate it when you throw things out without talking to me
I hate how you've come to expect I'll let you down
I hate the way you seem to always make us late
You pick a fight and I take the bait
I hate the way you keep it so cold in this room
I hate how you steal the covers
I hate how you fight with your mother
But more than your favorite song
I hate it when you're gone
Yeah I hate it when you're gone
I hate it when I ask if I'm the best that you had
You answer too slow, and then you turn your back
I hate it when you compare to others that came before
I hate the way you whisper to your friends on the phone
The way you can make me feel so all alone
I hate it when I feel like we're trying too hard
I hate when you're lost in the TV
And I need you and you barely see me
But more than admitting I'm wrong
I hate it when you're gone
Said I hate it when you're gone
It's always
It's never
You roll your eyes and say whatever
I just go along
I just go along
I hate just how much I adore you
I hate that I can't be there for you
And more than admitting I'm wrong
I hate it when I see you crying
You say you're okay but you're lying
And more than the dark hates the dawn
I hate it when you're gone
Yeah I hate it when you're gone
I hate it when I come home and you're already asleep
I hate it when you throw things out without talking to me
I hate how you've come to expect I'll let you down
I hate the way you seem to always make us late
You pick a fight and I take the bait
I hate the way you keep it so cold in this room
I hate how you steal the covers
I hate how you fight with your mother
But more than your favorite song
I hate it when you're gone
Yeah I hate it when you're gone
I hate it when I ask if I'm the best that you had
You answer too slow, and then you turn your back
I hate it when you compare to others that came before
I hate the way you whisper to your friends on the phone
The way you can make me feel so all alone
I hate it when I feel like we're trying too hard
I hate when you're lost in the TV
And I need you and you barely see me
But more than admitting I'm wrong
I hate it when you're gone
Said I hate it when you're gone
It's always
It's never
You roll your eyes and say whatever
I just go along
I just go along
I hate just how much I adore you
I hate that I can't be there for you
And more than admitting I'm wrong
I hate it when I see you crying
You say you're okay but you're lying
And more than the dark hates the dawn
I hate it when you're gone
Yeah I hate it when you're gone
