“Bet You Hate Me” is singer-songwriter Eileen Alister’s second studio single.
She wrote the song about the wreckage left after a break-up and how she blames herself for everything, how she bets that the muse hates her.
[Verse 1]
That little freckle in your eye
God, it gets me every time
Sort of makes me want to cry
Forgot your voice, it's been a while
Driving backwards on the highway
Go back in time, make it okay
My mistakes and your timing
I lost control and
[Chorus]
I bet you hate me right now
I bet you blame me somehow
Walked away mid-conversation
Blocked you out, no explanation
I bet you hate me right now
I bet you blame me somehow
[Verse 2]
Damn it, I'm throwing a fit
I've given up on us way too soon
What the hell is this?
I shouldn't have quit
But I was frustrated and blamed you
Look at the house I've set on fire
I tried to fix it, but the flames got higher
I tell my soul to make you stay
But you're the one that got away
[Chorus]
I bet you hate me right now
I bet you blame me somehow
Walked away mid-conversation
Blocked you out, no explanation
I bet you hate me right now
I bet you blame me somehow
[Bridge]
I'm driving down hill, getting faster
The breaks aren't working, it stops the laughter
Crash and burn, I'm breakin' every bone for you
Whoever said it's fun was never loved by you
(Ooh-ooh)
[Chorus]
Walked away mid-conversation
Blocked you out, no explanation
I bet you hate me right now
I bet you blame me somehow
[Outro]
Bet you hate me right now
I would hate me right now
I hate me right now
