It's just a matter of time
Before you recognize me for who I am,
It's just a matter of time
Before you see the man behind the mask.
If you give me your heart I won't keep it,
It will 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
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,
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
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.
