Once upon a time We swore not to say goodbye Something got a hold of us And we changed And you sat alone in pride And I sat at home and cried How'd our fairy tale just end up this way? We went round for round Til' we knocked love out We were laying in the ring Not making a sound And if that's a metaphor of you and I Why is it so hard to say goodbye? I can't wait to hate you Make you pain like I do Still can't shake you off I can't wait to break through these emotional changes Seems like such a lost cause I can't wait to face you Break you down so low there's no place left to go I can't wait to hate you, ooh This was all a phenomenon that no one could explain And I wish I could press reset and feel that feeling again I sit and press rewind And watch us every night Want to pause it but I can't make it stay We went 'round for 'round 'Til we knocked love out We were laying in the ring Not making a sound And if that's a metaphor of you and I Why is it so hard to say goodbye? I can't wait to hate you Make you pain like I do Still can't shake you off I can't wait to break through these emotional changes Seems like such a lost cause I can't wait to face you Break you down so low there's no place left to go I can't wait to hate you, ooh No need to call my phone 'Cause I changed my number today And matter fact I think I'm moving away (away) Sorry the frustrations got me feelin' a way And I just keep having one last thing to say And I just want to hold you, touch you, feel you Be near you, I miss you babe babe babe (babe babe babe) I am tired of tryin' to fake through But there is nothing I can do Boy I can't wait to hate you I can't wait to hate you Make you pain like I do Still can't shake you off I can't wait to break through these emotional changes Seems like such a lost cause I can't wait to face you Break you down so low that there's no place left to go I can't wait to hate you baby ooh I can't wait to hate you But right now I need you I can't wait to hate you I can't wait to hate you But right now I need you
