[Verse 1]

How do I tell you, baby?

Cause if I tell you

Then it's over

How do you tell somebody

You took their trust then

Fucked them over?

[Pre-Chorus 1]

Cause he asked me I who I'm fucking with and I said, "no one"

Even though I belonged right up on your arm

Can't pretend that I didn't mean you harm

Cause I was the one who sent him the "you up?"

You were the one I played like a fool and

We were the one I split into two. I know

[Chorus]

You oughta hate me a little bit harder

Make me hurt a little longer

Make me feel a little wronger

You oughta hate me a little bit harder

Make me hurt a little longer

Make me feel a little wronger

[Post-Chorus]

You oughta know

Hmmm

[Verse 2]

I only loved you in the spring time

So when the summer heat came I

Felt the sun burn, had to turn my

Head down from the sad stars in your eyes

I pulled the panic cord to save myself

Let you keep falling for me

Didn't tell you we fell through cause of me

Had no problem hurting you

Didn't know that I could be so cruel

[Pre-Chorus 2]

Held you down in my gravity

A fluorescent tragedy

Stop dreaming of me

Held you down in my gravity

A fluorescent tragedy

Stop dreaming of me

[Chorus]

You oughta hate me a little bit harder

Make me hurt a little longer

Make me feel a little wronger

You oughta hate me a little bit harder

Make me hurt a little longer

Make me feel a little wronger

[Bridge]

How do I tell you, baby

After ten months of being over?

How do you tell somebody

All the things you never told them?

[Verse 3]

And I try not to think back to how the snowflakes fell around you

And upon your cheek

Like a puzzle piece

And I try not to think back to all the stars there in your bedroom

And the lights dimmed low

Watching you unfold

And I try not to remember all the times we spent together

In your light grey sweater

Feeling like forever

And I try not to remember being down for just whatever

Floating like two feathers

Nothing could be better, oh

[Outro]

You oughta know

You oughta know
