Name: I Hate Myself for Loving You
Duration: P00H03M18S
Description: William could present a crusty exterior to people who didn't understand his extremely dry sense of humor. However, it's safe to say that he never actually hated anybody. When we were given a challenge to write a song about someone you hate, he absolutely refused to do it. I've never had to push harder for lyrics, and finally, this is what he came up with. This is the extent of his hatred.

lyrics

I HATE MYSELF FOR LOVING YOU
============================

I hate myself for loving you
The way you walk and all you do
Let’s just face it and be through
‘cause I hate myself for loving you

Every time that you walk by
I pray you'll look my way
And in some moment catch my eye
But once again you turn away

As time went by I saw the signs
I’m not Ray Charles but I was blind
Then in my heart I found a way
But that’s old news...

[chorus]
Was it love?
I couldn’t say it never was in any way
But facts are facts, and this much is true
I hate myself for loving you

Come tomorrow the skies will clear
From partly cloudy to severe
And as the days grow longer I won't fear
The end’s in sight...

I bounce and crawl from day to day
I want to drop these keys and walk away
I try to tell you in all I do
But it’s another lie...

[chorus x2]
