[Verse 1]
(Get out of the way)
Distraction from thinking
(Get out of the way)
The vexation of cutting through
(A common mistake)
Now, I'm trapped in a dull unknown
(So, get out of the way)
When I'm lying next to you

[Chorus]
Whatever makes you hate me
Whatever makes you cry
I'll be the most persistent to know
Why?(x2)
I want to make you hate me
I want to change your mind
I'll be the most persistent to know
Why?(x2)

[Verse 2]
(Get out of the way)
Attraction to sinking
(Get out of the way)
There's no secret left to lose
(A common mistake)
Now, I'm trapped in a dull unknown
(So, get out of the way)
When I'm lying next to you

[Pre-Chorus]
Hear me out
This is my drug (x2)
So come on

[Chorus]
Whatever makes you hate me
Whatever makes you cry
I'll be the most persistent to know
Why?(x2)
I want to make you hate me
I want to change your mind
I'll be the most persistent to know
Why?(x2)

[Post-Chorus]
Calm, take me
I sit here waiting for the calm
To take me out
I sit here waiting for the calm

[Bridge]
Swallow your sad, somber excuse
You won't make it out again
(When the dead pour out of the sky)
You'll be thinking of leaving
(When the dead cut into the night)
I'll be the knife that comes for you
(When the dead pour out of the sky)
You'll be the far from deceiving
(When the dead cut into the night)
I'll be the knife (x2)

[Chorus]
Whatever makes you hate me
Whatever makes you cry
I'll be the most persistent to know
Why?(x2)
I want to make you hate me
I want to change your mind
I'll be the most persistent to know
Why?(x2)

[Outro]
Whatever makes you hate me
Whatever makes you cry
I'll be the most persistent to know
Why?(x2)
I want to make you hate me (x2)
I want to make you fucking hate me! Oh!
