We have a love hate relationship We love to hate and hate to love Physically we're miles apart But mentally you're in my heart The hardest part of moving on, is letting go of what I'm used to And moving forward with something with something that I'm not It's too late to apologize for the same mistake That you keep making over and over again. I can't go a day without talking to you And a month without seeing you There's not a second that goes by that I'm not thinking of you When I saw you, I was afraid to meet you When I met you, I was afraid to kiss you When I kissed you, I was afraid of loving you Now that I love you, I'm afraid of losing you We have a love hate relationship
