Hate Me

I almost married a simple man
Who made me laugh with a beer in his hand
He said "I've stayed home and you've traveled the world"
I need you, you're my precious girl

I almost married a clean woman
She had the brain of a solar system
Her gravity pulled all the good people close
I tried to love her, but I hurt her the most

If there's water in the cup
You've gotta pour it out
I hate being contained
Spill me on concrete
Throw me in grass

Just let me keep my name

If you hate me, hate me
It's out of my control
I need freedom
To feel like
I have a fucking soul

So if you hate me, I'm sorry
I wish that I were more like
Somebody steady
'stead of walking out the door

I always thought I was ignorant
I didn't like what they held to my lips
So I opened my mouth and tried not to exist
Pretending I was into it

If there's water in the cup
You've gotta pour it out
I hate being contained
Spill me on concrete
Throw me in grass
Just let me keep my name

If you hate me, hate me
It's out of my control
I need freedom
To feel like
I have a fucking soul

It took me so long
To ask for what I need
Cause I was so afraid you'd hate me
Do you hate me?
Guess you wouldn't kill me

It took me so long
To ask for what I need
Cause I was so afraid you'd hate me
Now you hate me
But it didn't kill me
