I Hate You, I Love You Again is the first song off of Emily’s 2014 EP Rocket Science. The song is about two ex lover’s that shared a night together. One of them has moved on and begun treating the other like a friend, while the other, is still struggling to move forwards.
[Verse 1]
Oh, what a night we had
Felt good at the time, now I'm sad
I wanted to hit you
But instead, I kissed you
Rained on a cigarette
Spirit-soaked sentiments
Me acting funny, pretending
I don't miss your calls
You've assumed I moved on
Like a song memorized
And never felt at all
[Chorus]
Once we were lovers
Thought it'd never end
Felt like forever
I hate you, I love you again
[Verse 2]
Saw you in the window of a bar
Ex-lovers in two separate cars
One says to the other, "Hey, how ya been?"
For me to discover your pretty new friend
[Chorus]
Once we were lovers
Thought it'd never end
Felt like forever
Now I hate you, I love you again
[Bridge]
Ooh
How many times do I gotta bend
Ooh, ooh
I just can't go on as an old friend
[Chorus]
Once we were lovers
Past is the past
Fooled myself to feel like that
I should've never, ever gone in
It's hard enough to see you
And even shake your hand
I loved you so damn hard
I hate you
I hate you
I hate you, I love you again
