We drove boulevards in your beat-up car with our hands out the sunroof
And for a moment I swore we were bulletproof
Now you're screaming at me like you never loved me in the first place
Put me at my lowest, oh, baby, what a fucking shame

I don't think that I'm asking the whole damn world of you
But I'm telling you

If you can't love me like I need, what am I to do
Than to find another, another reason to hate you?
It's self-protection, you give me no option than to
Find another, another reason to hate you

You never knew when to stop, no, you couldn't even drive yourself home
I was the bad cop, you never did anything wrong
I know you were lashing out 'cause you'd love to hear your name in a song
Well, go take a bow now, 'cause you got 'em all singing along

I don't think that I'm asking the whole damn world of you
But I'm telling you

If you can't love me like I need, what am I to do
Than to find another, another reason to hate you?
It's self-protection, you give me no option than to
Find another, another reason to hate you
