LOVE​?​/​HATE?

from DEMOS by Rick Berlin

about

A friend of mine recently asked me if I'd ever written a song that hurt someone. Ya know, I might have, but can't recall that I ever did. But thinking about what I'd been asked popped this one out today.

lyrics

LOVE?/HATE?

i hate you
i love you
can’t we
stop
fighting

did i ever
hurt you
w a song?
i didn’t want to
n i don’t mean to
the song just showed up
at my doorstep

like a lost puppy
looking for a home
big eyes
say i’m sorry
big heart pounding
can ya hear it

i never meant t hurt you
w a song
i didn’t want to
i don’t mean to
song showed up
at my doorstep

like a lost puppy
looking for a home
big eyes
say i’m sorry
big heart pounding
can ya hear it

im so
damn angry
n im so
damn sad

i hate you
i love you
can’t we
stop
fighting

i hold em back
my playing cards
what i read
in them

til it flies away
n both of us
r safe to love
one
more
day
