[Intro] Mmm… baby… Just say my name ’Cause when you’re gone I want you back again But when you’re standing next to me I just wanna run away… [Verse 1] I hate you and I love you Sometimes I want you gone Sometimes I need you right beside me Just to hold me when it all goes wrong I’ve been begging for your time But when you’re here, we always fight Mmm, baby, just say my name I need to feel your love again I wanna feel safe But where is our respect? The things you say They stay inside my head You say the words that make me wonder If I was better off without you [Pre-Chorus] ’Cause when you’re gone, I miss you When you’re close, I wanna leave How can one heart want you And still wanna be free? [Chorus] I hate you and I love you I want you close, but I wanna run When you’re not here, I need you with me But when you come home, you steal my peace I wanna feel your love But I’m losing myself You make me question everything we had So tell me, baby, what do I really want? ’Cause I don’t know anymore Do I want you… or do I want to be free? [Verse 2] You can be so cold, you can be so cruel And every time you hurt me, I lose a little more of me I keep on fighting for our home But sometimes I’m too tired to hold on Home should be somewhere I can breathe But your stress takes over everything Your energy is filling every room And all the peace I had disappears with you I expected something more From the one who promised me forever But somewhere along the way I started losing who I was [Pre-Chorus] ’Cause when you’re gone, I miss you When you’re close, I wanna leave How can one heart want you And still wanna be free? [Chorus] I hate you and I love you I want you close, but I wanna run When you’re not here, I need you with me But when you come home, you steal my peace I wanna feel your love But I’m losing myself You make me question everything we had So tell me, baby, what do I really want? ’Cause I don’t know anymore Do I want you… or do I want to be free? [Bridge – R&B] Mmm… I remember how it was in the beginning When loving you felt so easy When your eyes made me believe I was the only one you needed Now I only see the pain And I wish I could turn back time ’Cause one part of me still wants to stay While the other just wants to leave tonight [Break] When you’re gone — I miss you When you’re here — I lose me When you hold me — I want more But when you let me go I don’t know what I’m fighting for [Final Chorus] I hate you and I love you I want you close, but I wanna run When you’re not here, I need you with me But when you come home, you steal my peace I wanna feel your love But I’m losing myself And everything we built feels so far away So tell me, baby… what do I really want? Do I keep fighting for us Or finally choose myself? [Outro] Mmm… baby… Just say my name… I hate you… I love you… What do I really want? You… Or freedom?
