I Hope You Hate Yourself Tonight

[Cold Open / Hook] I hope you hate yourself tonight Not forever, just enough To feel what it was like Begging you for love I hope the room gets quiet I hope your chest gets tight I hope you miss me like a sickness You can’t sleep off tonight [Verse 1] I used to make you coffee While my hands still shook From the fight we had at midnight That you swore I mistook You’d kiss me like a stranger Then leave me with the mess I was crying in the bathroom While you fucking got dressed You made me feel pathetic For needing you to care Then told everybody I was hard to have there [Pre-Chorus] I hate that I loved you When I should’ve run I hate that I called it home Just because I had one [Chorus] I hope you hate yourself tonight When the lights go dead When my voice comes crawling Through the back of your head I hope you taste every lie You were too proud to choke I hope you reach for my body And remember what you broke Fuck you for the damage Fuck you for the doubt Fuck you for making me beg Just to be allowed [Verse 2] You said I was dramatic You said I loved the pain But you kept dragging the knife Then asking why I changed Now I flinch when it’s gentle Now I panic when it’s real You didn’t just break my heart You taught my body not to feel [Bridge / Breakdown] Don’t call it closure Don’t call it growth Don’t say you’re sorry When you miss being known You don’t miss me You miss being God You miss how I stayed When you treated me like shit and called it love [Final Chorus] I hope you hate yourself tonight When the lights go dead When my voice comes crawling Through the back of your head I hope you taste every lie You were too proud to choke I hope you reach for my body And remember what you broke Fuck you for the damage Fuck you for the shame Fuck you for making me scared When someone says my name [Outro] I hope you hate yourself tonight Not forever, just enough To know I wasn’t crazy I was dying for love.
