7 Things I Hate About You

Verse

I was laughing, phone on speaker, didn’t think twice

Then your name lit up my screen like a bad surprise

You didn’t say it, didn’t even try

Just a message and a “sorry” like that makes it fine

You took the easy way out, didn’t face me at all

Guess it’s easier to type than to risk a fall

Now I’m sitting here replaying every line

Wondering how I missed all the warning signs

Pre-chorus

You said you cared, yeah you said it a lot

But caring shouldn’t disappear on a dot

Chorus

There’s 7 things I hate about you

And yeah, I still see the good too

You made it messy, made it confusing

Now I’m stuck here choosing

Between the parts I wanna keep

And the parts that didn’t mean a thing

You broke it fast, didn’t even try

Now I’m counting reasons why

Verse

I hate how you always need the spotlight

I hate all your mind games late at night

I hate how unsure you always seem

Like I was just part of your in-between

I hate how you said you cared for me

Then turned around like it’s no big thing

I hate how your friends act just like you

And you change when they’re in the room

And the 7th thing I hate the most that you do

Is you make me love you

Chorus

You made it hard to just let go

When half of me still hopes you’ll show

There’s 7 things I hate about you

But there’s still things I like too

You made it messy, made it confusing

Now I’m stuck here choosing

Between the laugh and all the pain

Between the sunshine and the rain

You broke it fast, didn’t even try

Now I’m counting reasons why

Verse

The 7 things I like about you

The way your hair falls, your eyes in the light

Those ugly sweats you always wear like they’re right

When we hug, I just lose track of time

Like everything pauses and you’re only mine

You made me laugh, then you made me break

Guess that’s a risk that I chose to take

Your hand in mine felt safe somehow

Like nothing else really mattered then, not now

I wanted you, or at least who I knew

And the 7th thing I like that you do

Is you make me love you

Bridge

There’s 7 things I hate about you

And 7 things I miss too

But I’m done trying to fix it

Done trying to twist it

You showed me everything that night

When you didn’t even try

And yeah, it hurt, yeah I cried

But I won’t stay on your side

Funny how the thing I hate the most is true

You make me love you
