i hate it

[Verse 1]
I've become an image of myself
Nothing more than stubborn sticky clay
I've never been this deep in love before
And I hate every moment I'm awake

[Verse 2]
Hate the way you look at me and smile
Hate the way I want to walk with you straight down the aisle
I'm known for cynicism, not for sap
And I hate how you've caught me in your trap

[Chorus]
Hold me a little closer, stay for a bit
I wanna scream but I'll save it
Kiss me a little longer, then that's it
Best with you to play it cool than risk it

[Post-Chorus]
Back again, I tumble and I fall
All the clichéd turn of phrases that I can recall
That's how I feel about you, oh, and dear
Oh my God, I hate it when you're near

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
Hold me a little closer, stay for a bit
I wanna scream but I'll save it
Kiss me a little longer, then that's it
Best with you to play it cool than risk it

[Post-Chorus]
Back again, I tumble and I fall
All the clichéd turn of phrases that I can recall
That's how I feel about you, oh, and dear
Oh my God, I hate it when you're near
