Hate u, love u, either way I'll always remember
恨你，愛你，無論如何我都永遠記得
I don't wanna be with my friends cause I'm sick and tired of them asking me
我不想和我的朋友在一起，因為我厭倦了他們問我
How come you didn't call?
為什麼你沒打電話？
And I know that I was selfish
我知道我自私
And I don't deserve a guy like you
我不值得一個像你這樣的人
I let my guard down and now you got me fooled
我讓我的保衛機制鬆懈了，現在你讓我為之失措
But even though I know you're gonna hurt me again
但即使我知道你會再次傷害我
Hate u, love u, either way I'm gonna be confused
恨你，愛你，無論如何我都將困惑
Cause I hate you when I'm up and I love you when I'm down
因為當我心情好時我恨你，當我心情差時我愛你
And I hate you when you're around even though I know it's me you're leaving with
即使我知道是你讓我離開
So now I guess I'll just fall back into my shell
所以現在我猜我只是重新退回到我的殼裡
But until then hate u, love u, you're still in between us
但在此之前，恨你，愛你，你們仍然在我和他之間徘徊不定。
