I Hate You Then I Love You
Céline Dion Lyrics

I'd like to run away from you
I wish to escape from this relationship

But if I were to leave you I would die
Leaving you would make me deeply miserable and unhappy

I'd like to break the chains you put around me
I want to break free from the constraints of this bond

And yet I'll never try
I know I probably won't find the courage to do so

No matter what you do you drive me crazy
Your actions, good or bad, have a potent effect on my emotions

I'd rather be alone
I'd prefer to be single than to be in a tumultuous relationship

But then I know my life would be so empty
Without you, my life would feel devoid of purpose or meaning

As soon as you were gone
The thought of you leaving is a distressing one to me

Impossible to live with you
Living with you is an onerous task I sometimes find insurmountable

But I could never live without you
Despite the difficulties we face, I can't imagine not having you by my side

For whatever you do
Your actions will always have an impact on me for better or for worse

I never, never, never
I swear vehemently that

Want to be in love with anyone but you
I don't desire to love anyone besides you

You make me sad
Your negative actions and attitudes hurt me

You make me strong
Your positive traits empower me

You make me mad
Your bad behavior can provoke intense anger in me

You make me long for you
Your absence makes me yearn for you more

You make me live
You bring vitality and passion to my life

You make me die
Your absence makes me feel lifeless

You make me laugh
Your playful and humorous side brings joy to my life

You make me cry for you
Your actions can elicit strong emotional responses from me

I hate you
Sometimes I feel overwhelming animosity towards you

Then I love you
Yet, despite any negative feelings, the love never truly fades

Then I love you
Love finds a way to resurface and overwhelm me

Then I hate you
Again, there are moments where negative feelings take over

Then I love you more
But in the end, love always reigns supreme

You treat me wrong
Your improper or unfair actions towards me confound me

You treat me right
Your kindness can be surprising and appreciated

You let me be
You give me room to be myself and pursue my interests

You make me fight with you
Sometimes conflict is inevitable between us, despite your best intentions

I could never live without you
Your presence is an indispensable aspect of my life

You make me high
Your presence or actions can induce feelings of elation and ecstasy

You bring me down
But the opposite can also be true, where you cause me to feel depressed and despairing

You set me free
At times, you give me the freedom to explore and discover aspects of myself

You hold me bound to you
While at other times, you can feel possessive or demanding of my time and attention
