I Love You, I Hate You (Explicit)

I Love You, I Hate You (Explicit) - Little Simz

Lyrics by：Simbiatu Ajikawo/Dean Josiah Cover

Composed by：Simbiatu Ajikawo/Dean Josiah Cover

I love you I hate you

I love you I hate you

I love you

So much I would give my life for this

If the bullet was the beat I would probably die for this

How many times did I cry for this

I would hate myself if I didn't at least try for this

What's at stake is bigger than me

Blood tears how it stains can't rid it with ease

What we have in common is our pain

We're given the keys

To unlock what it takes to fight for what we believe in

Hard to confront the truth of what you see in the mirror

Some people you inspire and others you trigger

Fightin' in blind faith led by the internal voice

You might not wanna do it but you don't have a choice

Will the pressure take me to new heights or be my demise

Will my intentions coincide with what I advise

The people lookin' up to me doin' everything right

But who am I to tell anyone how to live their life

Your pain threshold will determine

If you survive I'm amazed by it

Lyin' to myself pretending I was never phased by it

Maybe 'cause you're in my DNA that's why

I love you I hate you

I love you

Sometimes I hate you

Always I love you

But right now I hate you

I love you I hate you

You made a promise to God to be there for your kids

You made a promise to give them

A life that you didn't live

My ego won't fully allow me to say that I miss you

A woman who hasn't confronted all her daddy issues

The day will come when you gotta find

All the answers to your sins

Pressures of providin' feeling unhappy within

Or what kind of external family s**t up on your plate

But I understand wantin' and needin' an escape

Too much unsaid now the silence givin' me headaches

Only through speech can we let go of all this dead weight

Even though I'm angry don't wanna be disrespectful

Tryna figure out how to approach this in the best way

Hard to not carry these feelings even on my best days

Never thought my parent would give me my first heartbreak

Anxiety givin' me irregular heart rate

Used to avoidin' and then hide

How I really feel about this

Now I see how fickle life can be

And so it can't wait

Should've been the person there

To hold me on my dark days

It's easier to stargaze

And wish than be faced with this reality

Is you a sperm donor or a dad to me and still

I love you love tonight I hate you

I love you love tonight

I hate you hate that I

Always I love you

But right now I hate you

Always I love you love tonight

I hate you hate that I

On this mission you live and learn

The world will show you no mercy from birth

How do you humanize your hero

'Round here you're only respected if earned

Half-hearted sorry's can't let your guard down

To get to Nirvana where do you start out

Angry 'cause they don't meet your unrealistic standards

Then you realize that they're human and you calm down

Sometimes I'm unbalanced and I think

Rah why am I losing my steps

Lately I'm paranoid I feel my life is a mess

I'm just usin' my voice hope it will have an effect

He was just once a boy often I seem to forget

Lookin' at Polaroids and pictures secretly kept

You know what was destroyed but you don't know what was left

Tryna phase out the noise of who you hear in your head

Everything is a choice and anything can be said

Is you missin' the point are you just hearin' me vent

Or is you ain't understandin'

Know when my words will connect

I keep you in my prayers

'Cause life is short as we know

Every mistake you make should contribute to your growth

What you choose to avoid will probably come in your dreams

I'm not forgivin' for you man I'm forgivin' for me

And sometimes

I hate you

Sometimes I love you

Sometimes I hate you

Always I love you I hate you

I love you I hate you
