Heralded by JC as “the best song I’ve ever written,” this tune describes the uncertainty that comes with taking a break from a relationship. Being gifted with the silent treatment from his girl, JC exclaims how he wishes she would be angry with him, as that would give him the closure he needs in or...
[Verse 1]
You say happiness exists but you're not sure where it goes
And you don't know how you feel but you're getting real close
You're keeping me in the dark but it won't be long, she says
She says I won't like it but I just gotta hold on, she says
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm done with all this silence
Russian roulette romances
One slip, oh, I could light it
Just tell me this is lifeless
[Chorus]
I need you to hate me
Baby in the worst way, oh
I need you to hate me
Say it to my face I'll go, yeah
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Say something
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Say something
[Verse 2]
Now I'm talking to myself 'cause I miss your ring tone
You say you're still around but I'm done and I need to know
You're keeping me in the dark but it won't be long, she says
She says I won't like it but I just gotta hold on, she says
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm done with all this silence
Russian roulette romances
One slip, oh, I could light it
Just tell me this is lifeless
[Bridge]
I need you to hate me
Baby in the worst way, oh
I need you to hate me
I need you to hate me
Say it to my face and I'll go
I need you to hate me
[Chorus]
I need you to hate me
Baby in the worst way, oh
I need you to hate me
Say it to my face I'll go
(I need you to hate me, I need you to hate me)
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Say something (Say something)
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Say something (Say something yeah)
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
