Blink-182 Embrace Separation Anxiety With ‘I Really Wish I Hated You’
Breakups can be hard, but Blink-182 have captured the complicated emotions that come with a split in their latest new song, "I Really Wish I Hated You."
The track comes from the viewpoint of a person who's having a rather difficult time with their recent separation, still feeling those pangs of longing for their recent partner and struggling to reclaim their identity. The lyrics for the track can be viewed below, and a lyric video for the song can be found at the bottom of this post.
I don’t really like myself without you
Every song I sing is still about you
Save me from myself the way
you used to
Because I don’t really like myself without you
I really wish I hated you
A little drunk, waiting on your phone call
A little numb, maybe I can’t feel at all
You stitch me up but you can’t stop me bleeding out
I’m better when I’m broken
I love y
ou but I hate you when you’re with someone else
And I want you wrapped around me but I don’t trust myself
I drove by your house but you don’t live there anymore
Won’t you say something, won’t you say something?
I really wish I hated you
The sun is out
I’m
dying in the daytime
I think about the future that we left behind
I drank it all but I can’t shake you from my mind
Now every window’s broken
I can see that you’ve had enough
I can see that you’re giving up on me
I can see that your hands are up
I can see
that you’re giving up on me
I hate the way that you’re better off, better off
I numb the pain but it never stops, never stops
Wish I could say that I’m better off, better off now
