Hate Me from Erotica Veronica by Miya Folick

I almost married a simple man
Who made me laugh with a beer in his hand
He said “I’ll stay at home, and you’ll travel the world”
I need you
You’re my precious girl

I almost married a clean woman
She had the brain of a solar system
Her gravity pulled all the good people close
I tried to love her, but I hurt her the most

If there’s water in the cup
You’ve gotta pour it out
I hate being contained
Spill me on the concrete
Throw me in the grass
Just let me keep my name

If you hate me, hate me
It’s out of my control
I need freedom to feel like I have a fucking soul
So if you hate me, I’m sorry
I wish that I were more
Like somebody steady, instead of walking out the door

I always thought I was ignorant
I didn’t like what they held to my lips
So I opened my mouth and tried not to exist
Pretending I was into it

If there’s water in the cup
You’ve gotta pour it out
I hate being contained
Spill me on the concrete
Throw me in the grass
Just let me keep my name

If you hate me, hate me
It’s out of my control
I need freedom to feel like I have a fucking soul
It took me so long to ask for what I need
Cause I was so afraid you’d hate me
Do you hate?
Guess it wouldn’t kill me

It took me so long to ask for what I need
Cause I was so afraid you’d hate me
Now you hate me, but it didn’t kill me
