I Wish I Hated You Lyrics – Ariana Grande
I Wish I Hated You Song Lyrics
[Verse 1: Ariana Grande]
Hung all my clothes in the closet you made
Your shoes still in boxes
I send them your way
Hoping life brings you no new pain
[Pre-Chorus: Ariana Grande]
I rearrange my memories
I try to rewrite our life
[Chorus: Ariana Grande]
But no matter how I try to (Mm)
And no matter how I want to (Mm)
And no matter how easy things could be if I did
And no matter how guilty I still feel saying it
I wish I hated you
I wish that weren't true
Wish there was worse to you
I wish you were worse to me
Yeah, I wish I hated you
[Verse 2: Ariana Grande]
Our shadows stands in a parallel plane
Just two different endings
You learn to repair
And I learn to keep me in one place
[Pre-Chorus: Ariana Grande]
So close (So close) and yet so far (So far)
If only we had known from the start
[Chorus: Ariana Grande]
But no matter how I try to (Mm)
And no matter how I want to (Mm)
And no matter how easy things could be if I did
And no matter how guilty I still feel saying it
I wish I hated you
I wish that weren't true
Wish there was worse to you
I wish you were worse to me
Yeah, I wish I hated you
