It's not easy to hate something you love It's not easy to commit to giving up Behind the smile, you face the world alone And I thought the feelings had gone And I've been wallowing in hollow victories But I'd cast away my pride, take pleasure in defeat If you'd just look at me, the way you're looking at her If you'd just look at me, the way you're looking at her I'm not jealous of the way you make her cry I'm not jealous of her covering up your lies But I remember when that foolish girl was me And how lucky I felt to be the one that you needed I'd forget what you did, I'd throw it in the loft I'd step out on the bridge, and bring myself to cross If you'd just look at me, the way you're looking at her
If you'd just look at me, the way you're looking at her I never thought I'd say it You're the one I thought I hated What am I doing? Why am I waiting? What am I waiting here for? It's not easy to hate something you love It's not easy to commit to giving up But sometimes in life your heart don't know what it needs And what's bitter seems sweet You took the best of me, I never did escape I know it's foolish, and I know you'll never change Still I'm wishing you'd look at me the way you're looking at her Wishing you'd look at me, the way you're looking at her Wishing you'd look at me, the way you're looking at her Her
