Let Me Hate You

I know we're friends
But I can't keep this up
Just let me do this
Let me hate you

Like your beautiful eyes
That bore into my soul
When you look at me
Let me hate them

And your amazing hair
That falls into those eyes
And I want to run my fingers through
Let me hate it

And your breath-taking smile
And your contagious laugh
That make me smile
Let me hate them

And those strong arms
That I long to be held in
To feel protected
Let me hate them

Those lazy stares you give her
That's too cute for words
And make me jealous
Let me hate it

I know you're my friend
And it may hurt when
I ask to hate you
But I can't stand the pain
When I know you love her
Just do this for me
And I'll tell you why
The reason I ask is because...

...I love you...
