Learning to Hate You as a Self Defense Mechanism - Flatsound

You’re on the phone with someone who doesn’t know

About your soul, and how it can’t be held by flesh and bone

And I guess that’s fine

I would never want you to stop your life

But when I saw you both, with your shoulders touching

Sitting so close

I knew I’d hold on to this feeling

I’d hold on to anything at all

Was it my fault?

Because I easily confused you

For someone who would hold my hand

When things got hard, when things got dark

Because oh my God, when they get dark

They get so dark

You were always a shitty friend

And you would leave when I got sick

You never called me on my birthday

I want to call you on your birthday

So I’ll hold on to this feeling

I’ll hold on to this hate

For as long as I need for it to help me
