Lyrics I Wish I Didn't Hate You - Erin Elizabeth Barker

I wish I didn't hate you
And everything you do
I wish I could escape
All these feelings I'm going through

I wish my heart was softer
I wish I didn't feel
So angry and disappointed
I wish that I could heal
Oh, God, help me heal

I think back to a time
When we both were young
We were happy and carefree
And life still was fun

But as time went on
Something happened to me
You put me in a cage
And you wouldn't set me free
No, you wouldn't set me free

You silenced my voice
And I forgot to sing
You laughed at my dreams
And you clipped my wings
Yeah, you clipped my wings

But over time my wings grew back
To their full length
And once again
I began to feel their strength
Then I opened up my mouth
And sang a new song
And my heart began to sing along

I wish I didn't love you
'Cause now my soul is grieved
Because I equally hate the thought
That one of us has to leave
Oh, yeah, you've got to leave

I wish I didn't hate you
But now as I fly
I hope I can forgive you
But for now goodbye
For now goodbye

'Cause over time my wings grew back
To their full length
And once again
I began to feel their strength
Then I opened up my mouth
And sang a new song
And my heart began to sing along

I wish I didn't hate you
And everything you do
I wish I could escape
All these feelings I'm going through

All these feelings I'm going through
