Lyrics for U Don't Know How Much I Hate U

Night after night, day after day I pass by the house that once was my home I'm lookin' for something to knock out the lights 'Til the sun comes up shining like new The chill in my bones just reminds me that life isn't fair And nobody cares About lost souls surviving on hard knocks and vice In a world just as nasty as your world is nice, baby blue You don't know how much I hate everything about you Your honey red lips and your eyes big and sparkling blue The curve of your hips and your black Irish hair Sends a shiver that runs through me too You don't know how much I hate you I wish it was true You were kind to my mother, you were good to my friends You were passionate, faithful and strong I must have been sleeping, it feels like a dream And I can't say just where I went wrong Like a dog in the garbage with rocks in my head I'm strung out and crazy, I can't find the thread runnin' through You don't know how much I hate everything about you Your voice like good bourbon, so elegant, tasteful and smooth With a flick of a match, I could burn down this house Takin' every last memory of you You don't know how much I hate you You don't know how much I hate you You don't know how much I hate you I wish it was true
