[Verse 1]

Day and night

Don't bother telling me

Where you've been to

You never do

You want me to be seen

And not heard

Well now I'm seventeen

No longer a little girl


[Pre-Chorus]

Smoke and mirrors, floating nets

And people say

That I am mad and you're a saint

You're not to blame


[Chorus]

Hated

Ah ah you're hated

Ah ah you're hated

With all my soul

You're hated

Ah ah you're hated

Ah ah you're hated

Can't take it anymore

I've got to cross you out

And cross you off

And strike you out forever

And I put a line

Through your name

Never let it be with me again


[Verse 2]

The clock is ticking

I'm looking through shattered glass

Tears are trickling

Fading to the past

And you burn my wings

You destroy my reputation

You're the poison that brings

Pain and desolation


[Pre-Chorus]

Idle words and empty heart

And crooked mind

Go away and don't come back

I'm not your kind!


[Chorus]

Hated

Ah-ah you're hated

Ah-ah you're hated

With all my soul

You're hated

Ah ah you're hated

Ah ah you're hated

Can't take it anymore

So I cross you out

And cross you off

And strike you out forever

And I put a line

Through your name

Never let it be with me again


[Pre-Chorus]

Don't you dare start again

Talking about your love

Your growing lies break all our ties

And that's enough

You are sly but you can't buy

My life and bond

In spite of you I'll make it through

And go way beyond!


[Chorus]

Hated

Ah ah you're hated

Ah ah you're hated

With all my soul

You're hated

Ah ah you're hated

Ah ah you're hated

Can't take it anymore

So I cross you out

And cross you off

And strike you out forever

And I put a line through your name

Never let it be with me again

So I cross you out

And cross you off

And strike you out forever

And I put a line through your name

Never let it be with me again
