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
