Hate Myself

Album: Build a Problem (2021)

  • Could it be different? Did I ruin the day?
    Oh, do you look angry? Oh, what did I say?
    Filling in the gaps, build a problem that
    Neither of us need, something wrong with me
    I'm getting desperate, losing my mind
    How do we get here every time?
    One will fold their arms, one will do the dance
    Really is no need, something wrong with me

    No, I don't think I can help it

    Oh so illogical, I'm not magical, I can't read your mind
    But how can you not hear the whole conversation
    I have sitting still with a brain on fire?
    I know it's a me thing
    Eyes closed, isn't helping
    When you go quiet, I hate myself
    When you go quiet, I hate myself

    Look at you sideways playing a game
    What if I laugh now? I think I'm insane
    Filling in the gaps, build a problem that
    Neither of us need, something wrong with me
    Pushing a boundary, something to prove
    Strong expectation, you already lose
    Oh, one will fold their arms, one will do the dance
    Really is no need, something wrong with me

    No, I don't think I can help it

    Oh so illogical, I'm not magical, I can't read your mind (read your mind)
    But how can you not hear the whole conversation
    I have sitting still with a brain on fire? (Brain on fire)
    I know it's a me thing
    Eyes closed, isn't helping
    When you go quiet, I hate myself
    When you go quiet, I hate myself

    Give me a mystery
    Maybe they'll bloom for me
    It's always the quiet ones
    Oh, something here must be done
    I'm open and ready here
    I don't think they get me, dear
    I'm only proving how
    I'm only worth losing now

    Give me a mystery
    Maybe they'll bloom for me
    It's always the quiet ones
    Something here must be done
    I'm open and ready here
    I don't think they get me, dear
    When you go quiet, I hate myself
    I don't think they get me, dear
    Give me a mystery
    Maybe they'll bloom for me
    It's always the quiet ones
    Something here must be done
    I'm open and ready here
    I don't think they get me, dear
    When you go quiet, I hate myself
    I don't think they get me, dear

    (No, I don't think I can help it) I don't think they get me, dear
    I don't think they get me, dear
    (No, I don't think I can help it) I don't think they get me, dear
    I don't think they get me, dear
    (No, I don't think I can help it) I don't think they get me, dear
    I don't think they get me, dear
    (I don't think I can help it) I don't think they get me, dear
    (When you go quiet I hate myself)
