It's just a matter of time 
Before you recognize me for who I am 
It's just a matter of time 
Before you see the man behind the mask 
If you give me your heart I won't keep it 
It will only end up in pieces 
If you say too long 
Than a lot will go wrong 
And you can't go back 

So go ahead and hate me 
Go ahead and get as far away as you can 
Go ahead and hate me 
Than I can't find a way to hurt you so bad 
I'll let you walk away 
I'll only hurt you when you stay 
So go ahead and hate me 
Go ahead and hate me 

You told me I can be good 
You know I wish I could 
But some things can't change 
I finally realized 
I'm the kind of guy that can't be tamed 
I find myself in all the wrong places 
Wake up it's time that we face this 
I told you I could be good 
So keeping my word by pushing you away 

So go ahead and hate me 
Go ahead and get as far away as you can 
Go ahead and hate me 
Than I can't find a way to hurt you so bad 
I'll let you walk away 
I'll only hurt you when you stay 
So go ahead and hate me 

I love you enough to let you 
Love you enough to let you 
Love you enough to let you 
Love you enough to let you go 

I love you enough to let you 
Love you enough to let you 
Love you enough to let you 
Love you enough to let you go 
So go ahead and hate me 

Go ahead and get as far away as you can 
Go ahead and hate me 
Than I can't find a way to hurt you so bad 

So go ahead and hate me 
Go ahead and get as far away as you can 
Go ahead and hate me 
Than I can't find a way to hurt you so bad 
I'll let you walk away 
I'll only hurt you when you stay 
So go ahead and hate me 
Go ahead and hate me 

So go ahead and hate me 
Go ahead and get as far away as you can 
Go ahead and hate me 
Than I can't find a way to hurt you so bad 
I'll let you walk away 
I'll only hurt you when you stay 
So go ahead and hate me 
Go ahead and hate me
