[Verse 1]
It's crazy how things can change
It's been almost a year, God, isn't time strange?
You were my everything, you were my world
Had pictures of us hangin' up on my wall
But I think it’s time that I move on
[Chorus]
So please, don’t hate me for loving somebody new
And lettin' them love me too
This was never part of the plan
You have to understand
I always thought it would be you
So I won't hate you for loving somebody new
And lettin' them love you too
'Cause time flies, pride fades, after all we did good
And I wouldn't take it back if I could
[Verse 2]
It's crazy how life moves fast
One minute you're in it then you're cryin' in a hotel bar
I couldn't have predicted it, so out of the blue
You said it yourself, this wasn't servin' you
So there's no point in holdin' us
I think it's time that we move on
[Chorus]
So please, don’t hate me for loving somebody new
And lettin' them love me too
This was never part of the plan
You have to understand
I always thought it would be you
So I won't hate you for loving somebody new
And lettin' them love you too
'Cause time flies, pride fades, after all we did good
And I wouldn't take it back if I could
[Bridge]
Don't regret the years we had
We turn like pages back to back
Let's forget about the part where this story gets sad
And let go
[Chorus]
So please don’t hate me for loving somebody new
And lettin' them love me too
This was never part of the plan
You have to understand I always thought it would be you
So I won't hate you for loving somebody new
And lettin' them love you too
'Cause time flies, pride fades, after all we did good
And I wouldn't take it back if I could

‘Please Don’t Hate Me’ is about the guilt you can feel for moving on. When you come out of a relationship, especially if it was long-term, you feel a level of loyalty towards that person. Sometimes, you can feel like, if you move on, you’re cheating on them, because you’ve been with them for so long...
