I hate you'¦
So you've heard that line before
Old news, doesn't get to you anymore
But what makes it different when I say it?

You don't know me, not even half of my dim-witted delusions
My dreams are not known to you, my nightmares to you are strangers
Why should you care, I am but a fool right?
But then again, maybe you should care

You have no clue about my feelings for you only see another's face
That face with a heart which can never compare to mine
For my heart is not well, but it knows who it desires
It flails in agonizing want for an incomparable being

I hate you'¦
And you should know that I feel a burn in my chest as I say it
Screams, voices, images'¦ they fill my head
And I may die if only I could caress that resplendent façade

Guiven a final minute on this barren land
I shall first wish to hold your hand
Then own you in my impassioned embrace
And die as I take your lips in a searing kiss

I hate you'¦
And if there's something I'll say before I hear that you hate me too
It would be the callous truth that's slowly killing me'¦
I COULD NEVER HATE YOU!
