Love Me, Hate Me

Love me for who I am, hate me for who you would like me to be
Love me for the emotions I express, hate me for setting you free

Love me for giving my all, hate me for giving too much
Love me for the way we made love, hate me for making you feign my touch

Love me for the kisses and hugs, hate me for the affection I gave
Love me for my kindness, hate me for the lives I want to save

Love me for staying while I could, hate me for leaving too soon
Love me for the chaos I put in your life, hate me for I’ve changed your life’s tune
