Hate That I Made You Love Me Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I can't tell you why
But something inside is dancing with fire
Eyes lit like the sky
Turned tears into diamonds, got good at goodbyes
[Pre-Chorus]
Just know that I will find my way from you
Like flowers from a tomb while you decide who you are
And I can see right through, ooh-ooh, like shadows on the moon
And it's all bad news
[Chorus]
Yeah, I, I, I
Hate that I made you love me
Sorry if I made me your type
Yeah, I, I hate that I made you love me
'Cause I barely tried
Yeah, I, I, I
[Verse 2]
What's happening now?
You studied my crown and borrowed my body
Warm, kissed by the sun, then cold like the wind
A bee stuck in honey
[Pre-Chorus]
Know that I will find my way (My way) from you (From you)
I guess it's kind of cute how you like me where you are
But I can see right through (Right through), ooh-ooh (Ooh-ooh)
Just don't eclipse the moon
'Cause it's all bad news
[Chorus]
Yeah, I, I, I
Hate that I made you love me
Sorry if I made me your type
Yeah, I, I hate that I made you love me (Hate that I made you)
'Cause I barely tried
Yeah, I, I, I
[Bridge]
I've held your projections when you've felt so insecure
Tell me, why is it this way?
Why you so hate to see women endure?
Is it really my fault you all gave me your hearts of your own accord?
I don't really think so
[Chorus]
I, I
Hate that I made you love me (You love me, baby)
Sorry if I made me your type
Yeah, I, I hate that I made you love me
'Cause I barely tried
[Outro]
Yeah, I, I, I
Hate that I made you love me (You love me, baby)
Sorry if I made me your type (Sorry if I made me your type)
Yeah, I, I hate that I made you love me (Ooh)
'Cause I barely tried
Yeah, I, I, I
