I Hate U I Love U
Gnash feat Olivia O Brien Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I'm
Still missing you
And I can't
See the end of this
Just wanna feel your kiss
Against my lips
And now all this time
But I still can't seem to tell you why
It hurts me every time I see you
Realize how much I need you
I hate you I love you
I hate that I love you
Don't want to, but I can't put
Nobody else above you
I hate you I love you
I hate that I want you
You want her, you need her
And I'll never be her
I miss you when I can't sleep
Or right after coffee
Or right when I can't eat
I miss you in my front seat
Still got sand in my sweaters
From nights we don't remember
Do you miss me like I miss you?
Fucked around and got attached to you
Friends can break your heart too, and
I'm always tired but never of you
If I pulled a you on you, you wouldn't like that shit
I put this real out, but you wouldn't bite that shit
I type a text but then I nevermind that shit
I got these feelings but you never mind that shit
Oh oh, keep it on the low
You're still in love with me but your friends don't know
If you wanted me you would just say so
And if I were you, I would never let me go
I don't mean no harm
I just miss you on my arm
Wedding bells were just alarms
Caution tape around my heart
You ever wonder what we could have been?
You said you wouldn't and you fucking did
Lie to me, lie with me, get your fucking fix
Now all my drinks and all my feelings are all fucking mixed
Always missing people that I shouldn't be missing
Sometimes you gotta burn some bridges just to create some distance
I know that I control my thoughts and I should stop reminiscing
But I learned from my dad that it's good to have feelings
When love and trust are gone
I guess this is moving on
Everyone I do right does me wrong
So every lonely night, I sing this song
I hate you I love you
I hate that I love you
Don't want to, but I can't put
Nobody else above you
I hate you I love you
I hate that I want you
You want her, you need her
And I'll never be her
All alone I watch you watch her
Like she's the only girl you've ever seen
You don't care you never did
You don't give a damn about me
Yeah all alone I watch you watch her
She's the only thing you've ever seen
How is it you'll never notice
That you are slowly killing me
I hate you I love you
I hate that I love you
Don't want to, but I can't put
Nobody else above you
I hate you I love you
I hate that I want you
You want her, you need her
And I'll never be her
The lyrics to Gnash feat Olivia O Brien's song I Hate U I Love U depict the complex and often conflicting emotions that arise in the aftermath of a broken relationship. The singer feels used and hurt by their former lover, but despite this, they still miss them and long for their affection. The desire for physical intimacy is particularly strong, as evidenced by the line "just wanna feel your kiss against my lips."
However, the singer is also aware of the futility of their feelings, and how the person they love does not return those feelings. This is illustrated in the chorus, where they express their hatred and love for their former lover, while acknowledging that they are powerless to move on: "I hate you I love you, I hate that I love you, don't want to, but I can't put nobody else above you." The repeated refrain of "you want her, you need her, and I'll never be her" further emphasizes the singer's feelings of inadequacy and sense of being replaced by someone else.
The song is a poignant reflection on the pain of unrequited love, and the struggle to let go of someone who has already moved on. It captures the raw emotions and intricate psychological dynamics of a toxic relationship, and the internal battle between the heart and the mind.
