Hatred prowls my heart, Where love once turned suddenly to ash. We repel like fire from fire, Yet I cannot bear to keep you at such distance.
I'll see you tomorrow, my anger will flare, it will flare, And still it cuts me that you've left me here alone. My heart still shudders sometimes with violence, But the source of this tremor may be something other than rage.
Hatred prowls my heart, Born from the multitude of your lies. You lied at night, lied in daylight, And lie in every tender word you speak. I no longer know what truth is, I doubt even what you ask of me. You lied when you whispered, "I love you," And for that I will never forgive.
Hatred prowls my heart, Because you never believed me, and believe me still you won't. I could tell you, I could do anything—you will not believe, For you, what others say holds all authority, "Darling"!
If you knew the things I've done, I would forsake them for you, You would understand that I loved you truly, deeply. I surrendered my greatest dream for you, So that better days might unfold between us.
Hatred prowls my heart, Because you've been absent so long. And yet I see you almost every week, And then my heart drowns in sorrow. But you will never see it written on my face, Because it serves you better to believe that... I despise you more than anyone else alive.
It wounds me, but it matters no longer, My love is becoming hatred—and hatred for good.
