Labrats - I Hate to Hate

Lyrics: Labrats, GPT4O
Music: SunoAI

[Verse 1]
I wake up heavy, with a war inside my chest
Every mirror's showing someone I detest
It's not you, it's not them, it's me, I confess
Dragging chains of bitterness I can't suppress

[Pre-Chorus]
I used to love too loud, now I burn too low
Caught between the fire and the cold I know

[Chorus]
I hate to hate, it's poison in my veins
A loop of blame, and I can't escape the chains
I scream in silence, drown in the weight
Of everything I never wanted to create
Yeah, I hate to hate

[Verse 2]
Tried forgiveness like a shot of something sweet
But the aftertaste keeps pulling out my teeth
I write your name just to cross it out again
Like ink that bleeds straight from a heart condemned

[Pre-Chorus]
This isn't who I swore I'd be
But the dark keeps finding home in me

[Chorus]
I hate to hate, it's tearing up my skin
A war I lose the moment I begin
I scream in silence, tied to this fate
Of becoming all the things I used to hate
Yeah, I hate to hate

[Final Chorus]
I hate to hate, I never meant this end
Lost in shadows, breaking where I bend
I scream in silence, beg time to wait
For one more chance to finally clean the slate
'Cause I hate to hate
But I still carry the weight

[Outro]
I hate to hate...

[Final Chorus]
I hate to hate, I never meant this end
Lost in shadows, breaking where I bend
I scream in silence, beg time to wait
For one more chance to finally clean the slate
'Cause I hate to hate
But I still carry the weight
