Title: Love, Hate, and Regret [Spoken Intro – low, gravelly whisper, barely above breath] Yeah… I still taste you when I breathe… And I hate myself for it. [Verse 1 – whispered, raw] I loved you in the quiet way The kind that don’t make noise Now I hate you in the same silence Same mouth, different poison You said forever like it was cheap I believed you like a fool Now I’m sitting here at 3 a.m. Trying to unlove you… and I can’t [Pre-Chorus – tighter whisper] This love turned into hate so fast I didn’t even see the crash [Chorus – whispered but heavier, soulful pain] Love, hate, and regret That’s all that’s left of us yet I hate how much I still want you I hate how much I still love you too Love, hate, and regret… Running through my veins like debt [Verse 2 – whispered, anger creeping in] You took the best part of me Left the worst part breathing Every promise that you broke Still got me up here bleeding I should’ve seen the exit signs But I drove straight through the flames Now I’m choking on your memory Saying your name in vain [Percussion Solo – let the drums breathe, no vocals] [Bridge – whispered, broken + angry] I hate you… I hate that I still check my phone I hate that you still feel like home I regret every time I let you in But I’d do it all again… and that’s the sin [Final Chorus – whispered, heavier emotion, almost breaking] Love, hate, and regret This the only thing I got left I hate how much I still need you I hate how much I still bleed you Love, hate, and regret… I’m drowning in it… and I can’t forget [Outro – barely audible whisper, fading into the instrumental] I loved you… I hate you… I regret you… …still.
