Lyrics
What You Hate
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You think I'm better off by acting just like you
I tell you what I wanna be and what I wanna do
But you say you don't care its not good enough for you
You think I should start over with something new
You think I'm better off if I act just like you
But I do what I want and I do what you hate
I make my own decisions do what I wanna do
And I do what I want and I do what you hate
You think I'm better off by acting just like you
I tell you what I wann be you tell me I'm a fool
and I say I don't care what you say
I'll do what I want to do anyway
