Time to Love
E.V.O.X Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Look around you
And feel me
Feel my love
And feel my hate
Look around me
And feel it
All my hate
To you

I don't want to feel you
Never again because
I'm not ready to
Love you again
'Cause you're the reason why I hate love
You broke my heart and that's why

I hate you
Every time you love me
I hate you
Every time I feel you
I hate you
Every time you love me
I hate you
Because you made me

Don't try to look at me
Never again
Don't try to feel me
Because I would feel you
I don't want to fall
Into your lies
I don't want to
Hear your voice again

Don't try to seduce me
Don't show me your
Breasts again
Don't try
Because I would still leave you
Just like you left me in the middle of the road

I hate you
Every time you love me
I hate you
Every time I feel you
I hate you
Every time you love me
I hate you
Because you made me

My love for you died long ago
Everything I felt for you stayed in your grave
I couldn't love you again because it would be not loving myself in my own nightmare

Don't insist anymore because I already got over you a long time ago
I wrote you more than a thousand songs just to love you and forget you

You really don't know why you decided to leave me alone
Thinking that it would be okay for me if I fucked women of my age while I loved you

I don't want to feel you anymore because I'm not ready to love you again
'Cause you are the reason I hate love and everything you meant to me

I hate you
Every time you love me
I hate you
Every time I feel you
I hate you
Every time you love me
I hate you
Because you made me hate me myself

I hate you
Because you made me love you
I hate you
Because you made me feel alive
I hate you
I hate you
Because you made me love you

I hate you
I hate you
For every time you love me
I hate you, oh girl
Every time I feel you
I hate you
I hate you
For every time you love me
I hate you




I hate you
Because you made me love you
