when i talk to you why do you turn and walk away? do you know how worthless i feel? respect is all i need from you, please don't walk away i don't need your rejection now.

love the way you hate me, hate the way you love me. don't keep walking away i might have to say... (love the way you love me, hate the way you hate me.)

you say that i don't care because i don't buy you things. (please don't leave me.) i'm not rich so all i can give you is my love. (how could you stay away?) you brush me off unless you want something from me. (please don't walk away.) please don't turn away i don't need your rejection now. (i couldn't stand it if i lost you now.)

love the way you hate me, hate the way you love me. don't keep walking away i might have to say... (love the way you love me, hate the way you hate me.)

it is over i refuse to be abused. (in another time, another place i) your inconsiderate act will get you in the end. (could have told you what i can't tell you now:) but until then you can suffer in your own hate. (i love you so, i love you so, i love you so.)

love the way you hate me, hate the way you love me. don't keep walking away i might have to say... (love the way you love me, hate the way you hate me.)

vocals: iank., more vocals: don

iank. wrote this as one of the first happythoughts songs. as i started to add vocals to the group i added some words to this song. iank. and i act as the yin and the yang, two opposites forming a whole. he is the one pushing away and i am the one being pushed away. all of this happening simultaneously as it sometimes does. life is a confusing game we're all playing. at times the confusion can prove to be interesting, even addicting. yet here both iank. and i lose this phase of the game.
