Blue October – Hate Me Lyrics

Rock

I have to block out thoughts of you so I don't lose my head
They crawl in like a cockroach leaving babies in my bed
Dropping little reels of tape to remind me that I'm alone
Playing movies in my head that make a porno feel like home
There's a burning in my pride, a nervous bleeding in my brain
An ounce of peace is all I want for you. Will you never call again?
And will you never say that you loved me, just to put it in my face?
And will you never try to reach me?
It is I that wanted space

Hate me today
Hate me tomorrow
Hate me for all the things I didn't do for you

Hate me in ways
Yeah, ways hard to swallow
Hate me so you can finally see what's good for you

I'm sober now for three whole months it's one accomplishment that you helped me with
The one thing that always tore us apart is the one thing I won't touch again
In my sick way I want to thank you for holding my head up late at night
While I was busy waging wars on myself, you were trying to stop the fight
You never doubted my warped opinions on things like suicidal hate
You made me compliment myself when it was way too hard to take
So I'll drive so fucking far away that I never cross your mind
And do whatever it takes in your heart to leave me behind

Hate me today
Hate me tomorrow
Hate me for all the things I didn't do for you

Hate me in ways
Yeah, ways hard to swallow
Hate me so you can finally see what's good for you

And with a sad heart I say bye to you and wave
Kicking shadows on the street for every mistake that I had made
And like a baby boy I never was a man
Until I saw your blue eyes cry and I held your face in my hand
And then I fell down yelling, "Make it go away!"
Just make a smile come back and shine just like it used to be
And then she whispered, "How can you do this to me?"

Hate me today
Hate me tomorrow
Hate me for all the things I didn't do for you

Hate me in ways
Yeah, ways hard to swallow
Hate me so you can finally see what's good for you
For you
For you
For you

    I love this song.. it's really sad. I heard that the lead singer wrote this song based on his mother, he struggled with drug abuse for some time. The lyrics and the music video are great.

    So my husband that I have been seperated from just told me to listen to this song. WOW!!! He was such a total asshole the entire time we were married. I did everything, job, kids, you name it and it was all on me. And now he thinks about it...too little too late!!!

    Very sad song! A guy I know lost his mom and said that this is his song to her. Heartbreaking! He doesn't understand that he meant the world to her and how truely proud she was of him. B

    I think this song can be taken only one way and that is sadness... I think of my man when I hear this and it just makes me cry, it makes me think of all the bs that happened in the past and the present. In a way its kinda depressing to hear it but more of a crying song.
