I Hate You
Hoods Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I feel I'm lost to the world
Out of touch and far behind
Put my passion to the test
I feel I've lost it all

Look at me with hate in your eyes
A reflection of you is
What I feel inside all I've done and all I gave
Years have passed nothing?s changed

Now you'll walk alone
Now you'll walk alone

I hope the lesson you've learned
All these years of work
Now you'll walk alone




A loss of mind, family, love, respect
No respect
