I Hate This Part
Nicole Scherzinger & Will.I.Am Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We're driving slow through the snow on 5th Avenue
And right now radio's all that we can hear
Now we ain't talked since we left, it's so overdue
It's cold outside but between us it's worse in here

The world slows down
But my heart beats fast right now
I know this is the part
Where the end starts

I can't take it any longer
Thought that we were stronger
All we do is linger
Slipping through my fingers

I don't wanna try now
All that's left's goodbye to
Find a way that I can tell you

I hate this part right here
I hate this part right here
I just can't take your tears
I hate this part right here

Everyday, seven takes of the same old scene
Seems we're bound by the laws of the same routine
Gotta talk to you now 'fore we go to sleep
But will we sleep once I tell you what's hurting me?

The world slows down
But my heart beats fast right now
I know this is the part
Where the end starts

I can't take it any longer
Thought that we were stronger
All we do is linger
Slipping through our fingers

I don't wanna try now
All that's left's goodbye to
Find a way that I can tell you

I hate this part right here
I hate this part right here
I just can't take your tears
I hate this part right here

I know you'll ask me to hold on
And carry on like nothing's wrong
But there is no more time for lies
'Cause I see sunset in your eyes

I can't take it any longer
Thought that we were stronger
All we do is linger
Slipping through our fingers

I don't wanna try now
All that's left's goodbye to
Find a way that I can tell you

That I gotta do it
I gotta do it
I gotta do it
I hate this part

I gotta do it
I gotta do it
I gotta do it, oh

I hate this part right here
I hate this part right here




I just can't take these tears
I hate this part right here

Overall Meaning

"I Hate This Part" by Nicole Scherzinger and Will.I.Am is a song about a couple who are in a relationship that seems to be coming to an end. The couple is driving slowly through the snow on 5th Avenue and they haven't talked since they left. The atmosphere between them is cold and tense. Although it's cold outside, it's even colder between them. The radio is the only sound they can hear. The world slows down, but the singer's heart beats fast. She knows this is the part where the end starts. The relationship has reached a point where it can no longer be saved, and the singer is struggling to tell her significant other how she feels.


The song talks about the struggle of ending a relationship that was once thought to be strong. The couple is bound by the same routine, and the singer knows she has to speak up before they go to sleep for the night. She cannot take it any longer and thought they were stronger than this. All they do is linger, slipping through each other's fingers. The singer hates this part, the end, the goodbye that she needs to say. She can't take her significant other's tears, and she hates that things have come to this.


In the second verse, the singer knows her significant other will ask her to hold on and carry on as if nothing is wrong. However, she knows there is no more time for lies because she sees the sunset in her significant other's eyes. She must end things and find a way to tell him. It's clear that the relationship is over, and both parties are struggling to come to terms with it. The song's somber tone indicates that this part is difficult for both parties.

[Verse 1]
We're driving slow through the snow on Fifth Avenue
And right now radio's all that we can hear
Now we ain't talked since we left, it's so overdue
It's cold outside, but between us, it's worse in here

[Pre-Chorus]
The world slows down
But my heart beats fast right now
I know this is the part
Where the end starts

[Chorus]
I can't take it any longer
Thought that we were stronger
All we do is linger
Slipping through our fingers
I don't wanna try now
All that's left's good-bye
To find a way that I can tell you

[Post-Chorus]
I hate this part right here
I hate this part right here
I just can't take your tears
I hate this part right here

[Verse 2]
Everyday, seven takes of the same old scene
Seems we're bound by the laws of the same routine
Gotta talk to you now before we go to sleep
But will we sleep once I tell you what's hurting me?

[Pre-Chorus]
The world slows down
But my heart beats fast right now
I know this is the part
Where the end starts

[Chorus]
I can't take it any longer
Thought that we were stronger
All we do is linger
Slipping through our fingers
I don't wanna try now
All that's left's good-bye
To find a way that I can tell you

[Post-Chorus]
I hate this part right here
I hate this part right here
I just can't take your tears
I hate this part right here

[Bridge 1]
I know you'll ask me to hold on
And carry on like nothing's wrong
But there is no more time for lies
'Cause I see sunset in your eyes

[Chorus]
I can't take it any longer (can't take this)
Thought that we were stronger
All we do is linger
Slipping through our fingers (it's slipping through our fingers)
I don't wanna try now
All that's left's good-bye (goodbye now)
To find a way that I can tell you

[Bridge 2]
That I gotta do it
I gotta do it
I gotta do it
I hate this part
I gotta do it
I gotta do it
I gotta do it

[Outro]
Oh, I hate this part right here
I hate this part right here
I just can't take these tears
I hate this part right here

I still those days when we didn't have the internet and I had to watch MTV for hours just to wait for this song to come on  😭

@victorwiltschut5179

But he! It's here so now you can listen to this whenever you want😄😄😄😄

@LukaScepanovic1

Lê Quang Tiến lol what you didn't have internet in 2008? that's sad

@tunminnnn4638

+Victor Wiltschut and that is when you realize one of the downfalls of instant gratification. I don't enjoy it nearly as much when I've heard this many times whenever I want.

@anderssonarad2552
