If I can't let you go
will darkness divide
For the fiction of love
is the truth of our lies
We were playing for keeps
but we both knew the cost
Now the only way out's
in your heart-shaped box
But I hate that it seemed
you were never enough
We were broken and bleeding
but never gave up
And I hate that
I made you the enemy
And I hate that your heart
was the casualty
Now I hate that I need you
As we rest here alone
like notes on a page
The finest to compose
could not play our pain
With a candle through time
I could still see your ghost
But I can't close my eyes
for it
For it is there
where you haunt me most
Where you haunt me mo-o-o-o-
I hate that it seemed
you were never enough
We were broken and bleeding
but never gave up
And I hope that I sing
through your memory
As we echo through time
in the melody
Now I hate that I need you
And I hear you now
when you said it hurt
But it had to fall
fall apart to work
As I see you now
in what's left of me
Is it too late to
plead insanity
'Cause I hate that it seemed
you were never enough
You were broken and bleeding
in the name of love
And I hope that we meet
in another life
I hope that we meet
in another life
I don't hate that I need you
I don't hate that I need you
I don't hate that I need you
I don't hate that I need you
I don't hate that I need you
