Albert Hammond Jr.
Memo of Hate
[Verse 1]
I had truly learned to hate
By the time that I was eight
In my mind, what was true
I made up or confused
The apologist in me
Couldn't wait to disagree
With your stance

[Verse 2]
Such amusement on your face
All I wanted was to hate
The beliefs that you hold
What's the point? I don't know
When the future seems to be
Some forgotten kind of dream
We sidelined

[Chorus]
And you won't change my mind
It's a waste of your time
When I hate every word
Just 'cause you said it first
You said it first

[Verse 3]
I would dance another day
But I left it all too latе
Don't remind me of her
Don't givе a crap
Run away if you meet
Anyone like you and me
Or me and you
[Chorus]
To believe easy lies
Wasn't quite dignified
When I called you that night
I was just seeing if you're alright
I take it back, I take it back

[Bridge]
I relive all those nights
On a loop in my mind
Can you tell I'm uptight?
Used to be what you liked

[Chorus]
And I might rationalize
Call you up to clarify
That I meant you no harm
It was just a false alarm

[Outro]
False alarm, false alarm
