It's just a matter of time Before you recognize me for who I am It's just a matter of time Until you see the man behind the mask If you give me your heart I won't keep it It'll only end up in pieces If you stay too long then a lot will go wrong And you can't go back So go ahead and hate me Go ahead and get as far away as you can Go ahead and hate me But then I can't find a way to hurt you so bad I'll let you walk away I'll only hurt you if you stay So go ahead and hate me Go ahead and hate me I told you I can be good You know I wish I could But some things can't change I finally realized I'm the kind of man That can't be tamed I find myself in all the wrong places Wake up, it's time that we face this I told you I could be good So I'm keeping my word by pushing you away So go ahead and hate me Go ahead and get as far away as you can Go ahead and hate me Then I can't find a way to hurt you so bad I'll let you walk away I'll only hurt you if you stay So go ahead and hate me Go ahead and hate me I love you enough to let you Love you enough to let you Love you enough to let you go I love you enough to let you Love you enough to let you Love you enough to let you go So go ahead and hate me Go ahead and get as far away as you can Go ahead and hate me So I can't find a way to hurt you so bad So go ahead and hate me Go ahead and get as far away as you can Go ahead and hate me But then I can't find a way to hurt you so bad I'll let you walk away I'll only hurt you if you stay So go ahead and hate me Go ahead and hate me So go ahead and hate me Go ahead and get as far away as you can Go ahead and hate me Then I can't find a way to hurt you so bad I'll let you walk away I'll only hurt you if you stay So go ahead and hate me Go ahead and hate me Hate me, yeah
