Trying Not To Hate You

[Verse 1]
I trace the lines where you used to be,
In every corner of this memory.
My heart’s a battlefield, bruised and torn,
Caught between the love and the scorn.

[Pre-Chorus]
I want to scream, I want to shout,
But my soul’s trapped in silent doubt.
You left me broken, left me cold,
But hate won’t heal the wounds you stole.

Chorus
I’m trying not to hate you,
But the pain is breaking through.
I’m holding on to pieces,
Of a love I thought was true.
I’m drowning in the silence,
Of all the things you never said.
Trying not to hate you,
But you’re alive inside my head.

[Verse 2]
The spaces where you once belonged,
Echo with a lonesome song.
I wrestle ghosts that won’t let go,
Between the anger and the hope.

[Pre-Chorus]
I want to curse, I want to blame,
But forgiveness is not a game.
You walked away, you shut the door,
But I’m still aching at the core.

[Chorus]
I’m trying not to hate you,
But the pain is breaking through.
I’m holding on to pieces,
Of a love I thought was true.
I’m drowning in the silence,
Of all the things you never said.
Trying not to hate you,
But you’re alive inside my head.

[Bridge]
Maybe one day I’ll let it go,
Find peace where the wild winds blow.
But till then I’m caught between,
What I loved and what I’ve seen.

[Final Chorus]
I’m trying not to hate you,
But the pain is breaking through.
I’m holding on to pieces,
Of a love I thought was true.
I’m drowning in the silence,
Of all the things you never said.
Trying not to hate you,
But you’re alive inside my head.
