about

This is for wallowing around feeling sorry for oneself. I haven't tried it lately but I bet it still works.

lyrics

I hate how much I like you,
yeah I hate how much I like you,
and I hate the way my heart will break when you say,
we are through.

So I gave you time for thinking,
when I left i stole your shoes,
and I walked them 'round the tree-lined town,
down Lavender Avenue.

When you call to give the verdict,
I can playfully chastise you.
I can say, "Don't say I didn't try to walk inside your shoes."

The bees were in the meadow,
the sting was in my eyes
the pain in my insides was going numb-er in the sun,
so I don't believe I'm gonna die.

I hate how much I like you,
yeah I hate how much I like you,
how you opened up my chakras and a space within my plans.

I'm toying with the notion
of drowning in this ocean
I will call my friend and she will coax me
back up on the sand

'cause she hates how much I like you,
how I waste my life in pining,
I whine to her whenever it gets sadder than it should
and I cease to see the use in trying...

Still I'd love to like you,
to feel you and to find you
for I know our minds combine in ways
that most minds never could.

And so I'd love to like you,
to taste you and to try you,
for in spite of all you didn't give, the liking did me good.

The liking did me better than I ever thought it would.
