Verse 1:
I see the way you look at me
A love that’s pure, a love so free
But every touch cuts like a knife
I can't embrace this twisted life
Pre-Chorus:
You say I'll be alright, my dear
But in your eyes, I see my greatest fear
Your love is drowning me inside
In this ocean, where do I hide?
Chorus:
I hate that you love me
Though your heart's my safe place
It burns with the intensity
Of the love I can't erase
I hate that you love me
But I can’t let you go
Caught in the shadows
Of a love we shouldn't know
Verse 2:
We dance in circles, night and day
In this tragic masquerade we stay
Your gentle words, they pull me in
But loving you feels like a sin
Pre-Chorus:
You say I'll be alright, my dear
But in your eyes, I see my greatest fear
Your love is drowning me inside
In this ocean, where do I hide?
Chorus:
I hate that you love me
Though your heart's my safe place
It burns with the intensity
Of the love I can't erase
I hate that you love me
But I can't let you go
Caught in the shadows
Of a love we shouldn't know
Bridge:
Maybe in another life, we'd be free
With no chains to bind what’s meant to be
But here and now, I'm torn apart
By the love that tears my heart
Chorus:
I hate that you love me
Though your heart's my safe place
It burns with the intensity
Of the love I can't erase
I hate that you love me
But I can't let you go
Caught in the shadows
Of a love we shouldn't know
Outro:
I hate that you love me
I hate that you love me
In the shadows, we remain
Forever caught in love's cruel game

Beat not available
I hate that you love me
