I Don't Hate You

You know that I don’t hate you,
I don’t know that I can
Although I’d really like to -
I’m sure you understand

It seems if I could hate you
This might all go away.
Things might be much easier,
And I might not cry today.

I know I love you dearly,
But the hurt it just won’t stop.
I really believe that this time,
I’ve gone over the top.

I don’t like feeling helpless,
And I don’t like feeling weak.
So, I’m picking myself up again,
And walking down the street.

We shall go in different directions now,
You go left and I’ll go right.
But I hope and think that in the end,
I’ll be able to sleep tonight.

This isn’t easy and you may fight,
But it has come to this,
And deep down I know
That it is right.

You know that I don’t hate you,
I don’t know that I can.
Although I’d really like to -
I’m sure you understand.
