     Hung all my clothes in the closet you made,
your shoes still in boxes,
I send them your way,
hoping life brings you no new pain.

I rearrange my memories,
I try to rewrite our life…

But no matter how     I try to,
and no matter how     I want to,
and no matter how easy things could be if I did,
and no matter how guilty I still feel saying it –
I wish I hated you,
     I wish that weren’t true,
     wish there was worse to you,
I wish you were worse to me,
     yeh, I wish I hated you

Our shadows dance in a parallel plane,
just two different endings,
you learn to repair
and I learn to keep me in one place.

So close and yet so far,
if only we had known from the start…

But no matter how     I try to,
and no matter how     I want to,
and no matter how easy things could be if I did,
and no matter how guilty I still feel saying it –
I wish I hated you,
      I wish that weren’t true,
     wish there was worse to you,
I wish you were worse to me,
     yeh, I wish I hated you
