More Than 10 Things

I hate the way you run I hate the way you cry I hate what you’ve become So quiet and so shy I hate the way you speak Especially when you don’t It makes you seem so weak So tell me why you won’t I hate the way you hang I hate the way you sway I hate the way you sang And took no one’s breath away I hate the way you look All the edges and the curves How you look in all the books The likes you don’t deserve I hate the way you try And nothing goes your way I hate the way you say goodbye When I wished that you could stay I hate the bumps on your face That you cover with foundation You think there’s not a trace Of all your imperfections But I loathe The way you love And get nothing in return When people touch and shove Your heart and watch it burn I hate the way you smile With the crinkles by your eyes He stares for just a while And begins telling lies I hate the way you’ve heard I love you and I’ll never leave Your emotions he always stirred And you always believed I hate the way you’re perfect You do nothing wrong But his actions show you’re not worth it He played you all along
