It's agonising;
Having to lie, to convince everyone I hate you.
It kills me inside,
When I hear them treat you like you're inhuman-
And I can't do anything to stop them.
Every time I see you,
I die a little more.
I hate how everyone just assumes I'd rather be dead,
Than wake up next to you.
I hate how I have to roll my eyes,
Whenever someone says your name-
I hate pretending like I'm not bursting into flames.
They believe I hate you;
Yet, in the privacy of my own mind-
I play our song on rewind.
