Verse 1

Gentle words turn into blades

Behind your smile, my heart just breaks

The closer I get, the more I bleed

But even now, it’s you I need

Even the night our fingers touched

Has faded into shadowed dust

Though I regret the love I knew

Your warmth still lingers, burning through

⸻

Pre-Chorus

I want to run,

But I’m trapped inside

Even my hatred

Has your shape, your eyes

⸻

Chorus

Between love and hate I stand alone

Still frozen here, still turned to stone

If I hold you close, I’ll break apart

If I reach for you, I start to bleed

Yet I’m thinking of you, even now

Though this heart is weak somehow

Between love and hate I stay

Still alive another day

⸻

Verse 2

I said “It’s over” one last time

But searched your back in every sign

If hurting’s how our story goes

Then why did fate bring us this close?

I ask the silence of the night

But no reply comes back in sight

And hating you to ease the pain

I wasn’t strong enough to gain

⸻

Pre-Chorus

I want to forget your face

But I can’t erase

Even this hatred

Is just love’s remains

⸻

Chorus

Between love and hate I’m torn inside

Still lost where all my feelings hide

The memories I want erased the most

Are rooted deepest in my soul

Even after you’re gone, I’m here

Still unable to disappear

Between love and hate I cry

Still screaming at the sky

⸻

Bridge (soft → emotional)

If I could throw my feelings away

I wouldn’t need this pain to stay

But even now, my heart won’t end

Calling out your name again…

⸻

Final Chorus

Between love and hate I stand my ground

Carrying it all, every wound

Scars and tears still by my side

As I walk through the endless night

I can’t bring myself to hate you

Still, I love you — it’s true

Between love and hate I stay

Still living on today
