[Verse 1]
I thought that we could be alone
I thought that I could handle you, baby
At night, I'm flicking through your phone
Never used to acting this crazy

[Pre-Chorus]
Baby, I would die for a sip of your poison
Baby, I would drown just to be in your ocean
Do you know I'd give it all to you?

[Chorus]
I hate myself
Hate myself for loving you
I hate myself
Hate myself for loving you
I still hold on, after all that we've been through
I hate myself
Hate myself for loving you
But I can't let go
No, I can't let go, can't help myself
'Cause I lose my mind when I picture you with someone else
Hate myself
Hate myself for loving you
I hate myself
Hate myself for loving you

[Verse 2]
Lock me up and set me free
You hurt me, then you act like you're my saviour
But every time you're holding me
I stay because I love a little danger

[Pre-Chorus]
Baby, I would die for a sip of your poison
Baby, I would drown just to be in your ocean
Do you know I'd give it all to you?

[Chorus]
I hate myself
Hate myself for loving you
I hate myself
Hate myself for loving you
I still hold on, after all that we've been through
I hate myself
Hate myself for loving you
But I can't let go
No, I can't let go, can't help myself
'Cause I lose my mind when I picture you with someone else
Hate myself
Hate myself for loving you
I hate myself
Hate myself for loving you

Charli XCX

Charlotte Emma Aitchison (born 2 August 1992), known professionally as Charli XCX, is an English singer-songwriter known for her eclectic style. She began making music at fourteen, and her debut release was a 2008 limited-edition album aptly titled 14.

By 2010, Charli signed to Atlantic Records, and released her debut single “Stay Away” in May 2011. She released her “real” debut album, True Romance, in 2013. The record met critical acclaim but failed to attain much commercial success. Charli’s true breakthrough came with the release of hit collaborations like Iggy Azalea’s “Fancy” and Icona Pop’s “I Love It.”

In April 2014, Charli found solo success with “Boom Clap,” which was featured on the soundtrack of The Fault in Our Stars. It’s now certified triple platinum in the United States and gold in her native United Kingdom. Her sophomore album, Sucker, was a pop-punk oriented effort and enjoyed more success than her debut. “Break The Rules,” “Doing It” (featuring Rita Ora), and “Famous” all performed well on the UK singles chart.
