I'd Hate Me Too

When we last spoke I was a dog
With a broken leg
I couldn't run to you
So l'd bite till you'd shoot me dead
I am a coward but
First I was a kid
Lost you like a sore loser
With my tail between my legs

Mary, please let me repent

Broke my own limb
And blamed you
For the limp
And like a spoiled only child
I thought l'd
Be forgiven
I lied through my canines
And I pulled at your hair
I wanted you to hate me
So, you'd know l was still there
I wanted you to hate me

Told the world that you
Kicked me to the curb but
I'll admit I said it
Just so you'd see how bad I hurt
I whined and cried so
All the neighbors heard
And like a skinhead Christian
I screamed my cherry-picked words

Mary, your name makes my guilt
Simmer like that summer's sunburn

Broke my own limb
And blamed you
For the limp
And like a spoiled only child
I thought l'd
Be forgiven
I lied through my canines
And I pulled at your hair
I wanted you to hate me
So, you'd know l was still there
I wanted you to hate me

If I were you, l'd hate me too
I'd hate me too, if I were you
If I were you, l'd hate me too
I'd hate me too, if I were you
