In the present I see the storm
Shadows dance with the light of dawn
I have to hate myself today
To find the strength to find a better way
I have to hate myself today
Just to like myself tomorrow
Through the pain I'll pave my way
To feel fulfilled to not feel hollow
Every tear is a step to rise
A broken heart can learn to fly
I'll face the dark confront my fear
To grow beyond what's standing here
I have to hate myself today
Just to like myself tomorrow
Through the night I'll find the day
In this journey of death and sorrow
It's not about the hate it's the healing
Breaking chains revealing
A better me beneath the scars
From the ashes I'll change the stars
I'll embrace the struggle the fight
To turn my shadows into light
I have to hate myself today
To beckon the soul I sent away
I have to hate myself today
Just to like myself tomorrow
Through the storm I'll find my way
To be fulfilled to not feel hollow
So here's to the hate that heals
To the pain to learning how to feel
I have to hate myself today
In order to like myself tomorrow
Tomorrow
