Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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 our fingers
I don't wanna try now
All that's left is good-bye
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, 7 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
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 is good-bye
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 is good-bye
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
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
The Pussycat Dolls' "I Hate This Part" is a power ballad that is about a relationship that has hit a snag. The song is written from the perspective of someone who knows that the end of their relationship is near, but they are unable to express it. The first verse is about two people driving through the snow in New York City. The radio is the only thing they can hear because they haven't talked since they left. The second verse is about the monotony of their relationship. They repeat the same scene every day, and it's exhausting. They need to have a conversation before they go to bed, but they're afraid of the outcome. They don't want to hurt each other.
In the chorus, the singer expresses how she hates this part of the relationship where they have to talk about their issues. She can't stand seeing her partner cry, but she knows that they need to have a conversation. The bridge is where she tells her partner that she can't continue with the relationship because she sees the sunset in their eyes. She knows it's time to end things because she can't keep living a lie.
Overall, "I Hate This Part" is a deeply emotional song that explores the difficulties of letting go of someone you love. Its lyrics are relatable to anyone who's experienced the end of a relationship.
