Millionaire say got a big shot deal 
And thrown it all away 
But  but i'm not too sure how I'm supposed to feel 
Or what I'm supposed to say 

But I'm not  not sure 
Not too sure how it feels 
To handle every day 
And I miss you love 

Make room for the prey 
'Cause I'm coming in with what I want to say 
But it's gonna hurt 
And I love the pain 
A breeding ground for hate 

But I'm not  not sure 
Not too sure how it feels 
To handle every day 
Like the one that just passed in the crowds of all the people 

Remember today, I've no respect for you 
And I miss you love 
And I miss you love 

I love the way you love 
But I hate the way I'm supposed to love you back and 
It's just a fad part of the teen, teenage angst brigade 
and.... 

I'm not, not sure 
Not too sure how it feels 
To handle every day 
Like the one that just passed in the crowds of all the people 

Remember today, I've no respect for you
And I miss you love 
And I miss you love 

Remember today, I've no respect for you
And I miss you love
And I miss you 

I love the way you love, 
But I hate the way I'm supposed to love you back
