i hate you but i could never hate you Lyrics

I sit in bed, I watch the sunrise

I hate the way the sun rises

As it burns your skin

I sit on the floor of the shower

I hate the way the way the water falls

As it burns your skin

I'm on two sides of

The racist's pole

As it burns your skin

You got sky eyes like

That hot day in the park

As it burns your skin

Like oh I hate you

But I could never hate you

Like oh I hate you

But I could never hate you

And as the sky falls

I wait here for you

And as the clouds pour

So do my eyes

It cuts too deep to see you leave

A year without you is a year

And if I waste my throat upon a poem

(on a poem)

The anaphora is clear

(the anaphora is clear)

(I swear I'm not an enemy)

And as the sky falls

I wait here for you

And as the clouds pour

So do my eyes

And I wonder

How do I wait for you to tell your mom

That you love a black man

Instead of running after knives

To tell me you don't feel the same

I wait for you to see

That this was us

Before you leave it in the dust

And I can't pronounce these words

But culture's a two-sided sword

And she can't pronounce my name

But why would she try anyway?

And I can't pronounce these words

But culture's a two-sided sword

And she can't pronounce my name

But why would she try anyway?

(I swear I'm not an enemy)

I'm not the one who's against you, baby.
