How I love to hate the morning sun and the cheerful voices as they come to erase my dreams with sordid smiles How I love to hate the things I've done, and to love the things that make me numb Using earnest words for empty lines How I'd love to break their telescopes Girl, you'll go so far, I hope, but all those stars are just a joke How I'd love to feel the love I fake and make love to things I hate My future's bright, behind me See the dangling puppet, hanging in the corner, dancing on the borders of my empty stage As one toy soldier gives the order, the puppet lands, and I'll never, ever wake again How I hate to love when others dance Take a chance, they romance Their hearts beat, one by one How I hate the words, "Let's have fun," "You're the one" I can only wonder, when it's ever done How I hate to love playing dumb, none for all, all for fun Open arms and itchy thumbs How I hate to love the ones I love, love to hate myself so much Love to hate me when I love See the dangling puppet, hanging in the corner, dancing on the borders of my empty stage As one toy soldier gives the order, the puppet lands, and I'll never, ever wake The dangling puppet, hanging in the corner, dancing on the borders of my empty stage As one toy soldier gives the order, the puppet lands, and I'll never, ever wake again See the dangling puppet, hanging in the corner, dancing on the borders of my empty stage As one toy soldier gives the order, the puppet lands, and I'll never, ever wake See the dangling puppet, hanging in the corner, dancing on the borders of my empty stage As one toy soldier gives the order, the puppet lands, and I'll never, ever wake The dangling puppet, hanging in the corner, dancing on the borders of my empty stage As one toy soldier gives the order, the puppet lands, and I'll never, ever wake again (Never, ever, ever, ever) (Never, never, never, ever, ever, ever) (Ever, ever)
