Love me like you hate me

Letra

[Intro — Male] You blocked my number on a Friday night By Sunday morning, you were back online Said you were done, said you were free Then why's your favorite jacket still with me? [Verse 1 — Male] You call me trouble, I call you a storm You slam the door, then you keep me warm You say I'm selfish, I say you're proud We start out whispering, end up loud You took your toothbrush, left your keys But kept that photograph of you and me Told all your friends I was a waste of time Then called at two to ask if I was fine [Verse 2 — Female] Oh, that's a cute way to tell the tale You leave out half of where you failed You say I called because I cared I called to see if my dog was there You think that smile can fix your lies Those bedroom eyes and cheap alibis You say I'm jealous, I say I'm smart I know exactly how you play that card [Pre-Chorus — Alternating] [Male] You say we're over, then you pull me near [Female] You say you've changed, but I've heard that for years [Male] Then why's your heartbeat racing like mine? [Female] 'Cause loving you was never a crime [Chorus — Duet] Love me like you hate me Kiss me like we're crazy Say goodbye, then pull me close You're the one I can't let go Fight me, then embrace me Drive me wild, don't save me We keep burning through the pain Then we fall in love again Love me like you hate me But don't pretend you don't crave me [Verse 3 — Male] I saw you dancing with some downtown guy Laughing too hard, wouldn't meet my eyes I told myself that I didn't care Then spent all night wishing I was there I tried new faces, different names But every kiss just felt the same I'd find your perfume in an empty room And swear the whole damn place smelled like you [Verse 4 — Female] I bought new dresses, changed my hair Took all your pictures off the stairs I learned to sleep on the other side And told myself that I was fine But when the thunder shook my windowpane I missed your arms around me in the rain Not all the chaos, not all the fights Just how you held me through the hardest nights [Chorus — Duet] Love me like you hate me Kiss me like we're crazy Say goodbye, then pull me close You're the one I can't let go Fight me, then embrace me Drive me wild, don't save me We keep burning through the pain Then we fall in love again Love me like you hate me But don't pretend you don't crave me [Climax — Alternating] [Male] I know I broke the promises I made I hid behind the games I used to play I acted tough when I was terrified Of losing you, so I just let you slide [Female] And I kept score of every little wrong Made you the villain in a bitter song I built my walls so high I couldn't see You were just as scared of love as me [Male] I don't want another night of war [Female] I don't want to keep on keeping score [Male] I want the truth, even when it stings [Female] I want the love without the broken things [Both] So if we try, let's try for real No more hiding what we feel We can keep the fire, lose the blame And learn to love without the games [Final Chorus — Duet] Love me like you hate me Kiss me like we're crazy Say goodbye, then pull me close You're the one I can't let go Hold me, don't erase me Love me, don't remake me Let the old mistakes remain In the past where they belong Love me like you hate me
