Don’t Hate Me Now

[Verse 1]
Made a bad decision
Ignored my intuition
Now I gotta live with a guilty conscience (Yeah)
I could have played it different
Been honest with my feelings
'Cause all I am to you is an empty promise

[Pre-Chorus]
Mm, realized
It never felt right
I tried and I tried
I just wasn't rocking with it

[Chorus]
Please, don't hate me now
It wasn't easy (Hey)
You said I checked out
Without a reason, and
I knew I couldn't give you all (Hey)
The things you needed
Please, don't hate me now (Now)
Don't hate me now (Now, now)

[Verse 2]
I wish it could be different
I wish my heart was willing
Sometimes the truth can be a bitter pill to swallow, oh-oh
And either way you split it
I'ma be the villain
You think I'm full of it meanwhile I'm hollow (Meanwhile I'm hollow)

[Pre-Chorus]
Mm, realized
It never felt right
I tried and I tried
I just wasn't rocking with it

[Chorus]
Please, don't hate me now (Yeah)
It wasn't easy (Hey)
You said I checked out
Without a reason, and
I knew I couldn't give you all (Hey)
The things you needed (The things you needed, needed)
Please, don't hate me now (Now)
Don't hate me now (Now, now)

[Bridge]
Pretty sure your version of the story gon' be different
When you talking to your sisters and you telling them that I'm the—
One that broke your heart, made you cry in the kitchen
What I said you didn't listen, swear, I wasn't on a mission to hurt you
Make you jaded or leave you frustrated
Might not get it now but eventually
All I'm asking is

[Chorus]
Please, don't hate me now (Now)
It wasn't easy (Hey)
You said I checked out
Without a reason, and
I knew I couldn't give you all (Hey)
The things you needed (Oh)
Please, don't hate me now (Don't hate me)
Don't hate me now (Now)
