Polly Scattergood - I Hate the Way lyrics

Your rating:

I hate the way I cry when you say you miss me
But I love the way you hold me when I sleep
I hate the way I bleed each time you kiss me
But you say, "Hey, sleeping beauty, go back to sleep"

We had pennies in our pockets, we had hope in our eyes
You said, girl, you got a million different faces
So why d'you put on that disguise?
Well, take what you want 'cause I've got nothing
Pass me some pills, I'll go to bed
But however much I toss and turn I feel a dark place up ahead

Some nights I just sit right here, I remember, I just remember
Before it all got lost up in the mess
He said, "Not all men are bad and I am not like your dad
And I will hold you even though you're slightly mad
'Cause I am not a man who will ever break you"

We had pennies in our pockets, we had hope in our eyes
You said, girl, you got a million different faces
So why d'you put on that disguise?
Well, take what you want 'cause I've got nothing
Pass me some pills and I'll go to bed
But however much I toss and turn I feel a dark place up ahead

Doo, doo, doo...
My doctor said I gotta sing a happy tune
Doo, doo, doo...
But my body gave up too soon
Doo, doo, doo...
You know what

I am just fine 'til I'm on my own
Doo, doo, doo...
Somebody please come home

I hate the way I tremble when you touch me
You're like a needle slowly piercing my skin
I hate the way my stomach aches
And I really hate these loveless mistakes
'Cause I'm screaming for my rock who never picks up
Why do you never pick up?

We had pennies in our pockets, we had hope in our eyes
You said, girl, you got a million different faces
So why d'you put on that disguise?
Well, you can take what you want 'cause I've got nothing
Pass me some pills and I will go to bed
But however much I toss and turn I feel a dark place up ahead
Doo, doo, doo...
My doctor said I've got to sing a happy tune

Maybe if I skip my dinner, make myself pretty and thinner
Maybe then he'll love me and stop looking at the other girls

So you said I'm paranoid? I'm paranoid? 
Well, I nearly choked and no more of that crap
You cannot break someone who's just been broken
You can't break somebody who's just been broken

So take me now, I'm naked
As you watch, I'll let you take it
Maybe then you'll love me and stop looking at the other girls

You said I'm paranoid? Well, paranoid, I nearly choked
No more of that crap
You cannot break somebody who's just been broken
You can't break somebody who's just been broken

I don't need you, I don't want your words

Maybe if I skip my dinner, make myself pretty and thinner
Then I think he'll love me and he'll stop looking at those other girls
