In an interview with Laura Klonowski for Celebmix, Rhys Lewis said,
“Reason To Hate You” is about struggling to get over someone, moving on is never easy but it’s much harder when there wasn’t really anything bad about the relationship, other than timing.
This connects it to the first song of his...
[Verse 1]
Can you just lie to me
And ruin these memories?
'Cause I've gotta forget somehow
So I'm begging you burn us to the ground
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause I know it's over but I don't know what to do
So help me get over, help me get over you
[Chorus]
And tell me you love somebody else or something
Or say you've been unfaithful to me
'Cause I need a reason to hate you
A reason to let you go
A reason to move on
'Cause without one, I know I won't
So tell me you love somebody else or something
Or say you've been unfaithful to me
[Verse 2]
Where do we go from here?
Do you just disappear?
'Cause I don't think I can be your friend
When it feels like the break isn't gonna mend
[Pre-Chorus]
Well I know it's over but I don't know what to do
So help me get over, help me get over you
[Chorus]
And tell me you love somebody else or something
Or say you've been unfaithful to me
'Cause I need a reason to hate you
A reason to let you go
A reason to move on
'Cause without one, I know I won't
So tell me you love somebody else or something
Or say you've been unfaithful to me
[Bridge]
'Cause even after all this time
I'm hoping I can change your mind
'Cause hope's the only open door left to choose
So lock me out for good because
I know that I'm not strong enough
To stop myself from feeling things for you
So don't give me the truth
[Chorus]
Just tell me you love somebody else or something
Or say you've been unfaithful to me, yeah
'Cause I need a reason to hate you
A reason to let you go
A reason to move on
'Cause without one, I know I won't
So tell me you love somebody else or something
Or say you've been unfaithful to me
