   They say you Hate Me
 ----------------------

I love you.

Everyone said that you love me too.
Everyone said that no matter what I do,
No matter how much I screw up,
No matter what's wrong with me,
Even if I doubt you,
You'll always love me.
You'll always understand me.
You'll always be there for me.
You'll always save me.
I can always call on you.
That's what they said.
They said that you'd love me no matter what.

I thought you might not love me,
But they insisted you did.
No matter what.
I told them why you might not.
And now--

Everyone says that you hate me.
Everyone said that no matter what I do,
If I can't make this problem go away,
If I can't change what I am,
Even if I love you,
You'll always hate me.
You'll always curse me.
You'll always turn your back on me.
You'll always condemn me.
That's what they said.
They said that you'd hate me for how you made me.

I need to know what's true.
Do you love me like they said you always would?
Do you hate me for something I can't help?
I didn't mean to hurt you.
I didn't mean to make you mad.
But someone said that I was so awful
So disgusting
So abominable
So hateful
So hurtful
So evil that I might as well have killed a person.
And you might hate me for that.

Please tell me.
Please tell me.
Oh, Lord, please tell me,
Because I need to know if you hate me.
I love you with all my soul,
But I need to know if you hate me.
Please
Please
Don't hate me.
