I took out my own stitches
And I think I did it right
That's forty-five more dollars
I can go and drink tonight

You called me a monster
You called me a cartoon
You said you can see everything
In my little thought balloon

I remember mornings
You'd wake up and you'd scream
Demanding explanations
For what I did in my dreams

It's something you're missing
And it's something that I lack
I'm looking for another but
I hope you're coming back

These are the things that I hate about you
These are the things I can't stand when you do
These are the things I forgive, yes it's true
These are the things that I hate about you

I live to make you happy
And I long to make you smile
I haven't for a long time
No you haven't for a while

There's something you're missing
And it's something that I lack
I'm looking for another but
I hope you're coming back

These are the things that I hate about you
These are the things I can't stand when you do
These are the things I forgive, yes it's true
These are the things that I hate about you

You're as close to perfect
As I've come close to
These are the things that I hate about you
These are the things that I hate about you
These are the things that I hate about you
