Hate me, Like me

[verse] I practice smiling in the mirror, every night when you're all still asleep. I burry my face in my pillow, grab it tight on the edges to scream. (I scream) [verse] Cause none of the pain that I'm feeling, these wounds that ain't healing, you see. And you need me to be strong and be happy, I won't fail you when I already failed me. [pre-chorus] My tears will never have value, And I'll try my hardest for you (You-oooo) I'll work till I fall over, So you don't feel like I do too. (Too-oo-oo) [chorus] I'll pretend to be happy, Pretend to be happy for you, (Cause if) I'll pretend to be happy, For a second it'll look like it's true. And maybe we both know it isn't, that it isn't meant to be, But you will know how much I love you, And you won't grow to slowly hate me. hate me, like me hate me, like me hate me, like me [fingerstyle] [bridge] I can do without being happy, You know I practiced real hard, I won't grow, but won't wither, Bruised, beaten and scarred. [chorus][piano] I'll pretend to be happy, Pretend to be happy for you, (Cause if) I'll pretend to be happy, For a second it'll look like it's true. And maybe we both know it isn't, that it isn't meant to be, But you will know how much I love you, And you won't grow to slowly hate me. hate me, like me hate me, like me [outro] But I'm still here, I will be here... Know that I'm here... Always for you. But I'm still here, I will be here... Know that I'm here... Always for you. always for you [end] (c) SebastiaanVW / Sebmeister
