You don’t really hate yourself You just wish you could be somebody else To live an alternative life Instead of living on the edge of a knife

That’s when the trouble begins When the cravings set in You don’t really hate yourself Just want to be somebody else

Trying to find a place for your head Somewhere the fears won’t spread A place that is safe, a place that is warm Where you won’t come to harm

You don’t really hate the world It’s just the way that life has unfurled This is no place for a girl Who just wants to live and be free

Don’t hate yourself, don’t hate yourself
