I wrote down every single name

Of all the people that I've hurt

And watched it burn

I laid my face against the pulpit

Confessed to myself all the lessons I had learned

I was fair and I was stern



They wrote me off

They wrote me a letter saying

You're as good as gone

But I want it bad



To be loved and feel hated still

Don't give up, there's a void you fill

To be loved and feel hated we've got it wrong

We want to feel safe but we'll never belong



I regret to tell myself

That it's not the person that I should become

So I'll drink wine and think it's fine

I'm comfortable with my limbs going numb

I'm back where I started from



They wrote me off

They wrote me a letter saying

You're as good as gone

But I want it bad



To be loved and feel hated still

Don't give up, there's a void you fill

To be loved and feel hated we've got it wrong

We want to feel safe but we'll never belong



It was always the plan

Become a good Christian man

They can't learn to respect my happiness

It was always the plan



To be loved and feel hated still

Don't give up, there's a void you fill



To be loved and feel hated still

Don't give up, there's a void you fill

To be loved and feel hated we've got it wrong

We want to feel safe but we'll never belong
