Lyrics of 'I Hate The Way' by Polly Scattergood

I hate the way I cry when you say you miss me.
But I love the way you hold me when I sleep.
I hate the way I bleed each time you kiss me.
But you say "Hey, sleeping beauty, go back to sleep."

We had pennies in our pockets,
We had hope in our eyes,
He said "Girl, you've got a million different faces.
So why'd you put on that disguise?"

Well, take what you want 'cos I have got nothing.
Pass me some pills, I'll go to bed.
But, however much I toss and turn
I feel a dark place up ahead.

Some nights I just sit back here, I remember,
I just remember, before it all got lost up in the mess.
He said "Not all men are bad and I am not like your dad,
And I will hold you even though you're slightly mad.
Cos I am not a man who will ever break you."

We had pennies in our pockets,
We had hope in our eyes,
He said "Girl, you've got a million different faces.
So why'd you put on that disguise?"

Well, take what you want 'cos I have got nothing.
Pass me some pills and I'll go to bed.
But, however much I toss and turn
I feel a dark place up ahead.

Do do do do do do do do do
My doctor says I've got to sing a happy tune
Do do do do do do do do do
A do do do but my body gave up too soon

Do do do do do do do do do
You know what?
I am just fine until I'm on my own
Do do do do do do do do
An do do do do oh somebody please come home

I hate the way I tremble when you touch me.
You're like a needle slowly piercing my skin.
I hate the my way stomach aches,
and I really hate these loveless mistakes.
Cos' I'm screaming for my rock who never picks up.
Why do you never pick up?

We had pennies in our pockets,
We had hope in our eyes,
He said "Girl, you've got a million different faces.
So why'd you put on that disguise?"

Well, you can take what you want 'cos I have got nothing.
Pass me some pills and I will go to bed.
But, however much I toss and turn
I feel a dark place up ahead.

Do do do do do do do do
My doctor says I'd got to sing a happy tune.

Maybe if I skip my dinner,
Make myself pretty and thinner,
Maybe then he'll love me and stop looking at the other girls.
So you said I'm paranoid. I'm paranoid?
Well I nearly choked. And no more of that crap,
You cannot break someone whose just been broken.
You can't break somebody whose just been broken.

So take me now I'm naked.
As you watch, I'll let you take it.
Maybe then you'll love me and stop looking at the other girls.
So you said I'm paranoid. Well, paranoid?
Well, I nearly choked. And no more of that crap,
You cannot break someone whose just been broken.
You can't break somebody whose just been broken.

Then I think he'll love me and stop looking at those other girls.
