It Should've Been You (Why Do You Hate Me?)

What's one more broken heart,
As long as you're still breathing?
What's one more shattered life,
As long as you're still whole?
How could you be so selfish
To take me up,
Pretend to love me?
How could you be so heartless
To rip me up?
Why do you hate me?

What's with this cold shoulder?
We used to laugh so much...
What's wrong with who I am?
You used to love me after all...
You led me on
And made me cry
Tears of happiness
Before I found out your lies.
You left me here for dead,
Cold on the ground,
It should've been you instead.

What's one more tear shed,
As long as you're happy?
What's one more night spent crying,
As long as you're not sad?
How could you be so selfish
To pull me close,
Pretend to love me?
How could you be so heartless
To tear me apart?
Why do you hate me?

What's with the harsh words you throw?
We used to be so sweet to each other...
What's wrong with what we had?
You used to love it after all...
You strung me along
And made me feel
The most amazing hurt
Before I found out the truth.
You left me here to bleed,
Broken and in need,
It should've been you instead.

What's one more life lost,
As long as you're still here?
What's one more grieving girl,
As long as you don't have to comfort her?
How could you be so selfish
To kiss me,
Pretend to want me?
How could you be so heartless
To break my heart?
Why do you hate me?

What's with this warm kiss?
You hate me, remember?
What's with this cold slap?
You used to say you'd never hurt me...
You pulled me around
And made me want
This hateful love
Before you hit me again.
You left me here to die,
Bruised and crying,
It should've been you instead.

What's one more bruise on my face,
As long as it's me who bleeds?
What's one more night of almost dying,
As long as it's me who's suffering?
How could you be so selfish
To hurt me over and over,
Pretend to love me?
How could you be so heartless
To slam your fists on me?
Why do you hate me?

Why do you hate me?
Why do you hate me?
Why do you hate me?
It should've been you...
