[Verse 1]
Bury me standing under your window
With this cinder block in hand
Yeah 'cause no one will ever feel
Like this again
And if I could move, I'm sure it would
Only be to crawl back to you
I must have dragged my guts a block
They were gone by the time we (talked)

[Chorus]
Woah, I want to hate you half as much as I hate myself
But know that I could crush you with my voice
Woah, I want to hate you half as much as I hate myself
You know that I could crush you with my voice

[Post-Chorus]
Stood on my roof and tried to see you forgetting about me
Hide the details, I don't want to know a thing

[Verse 2]
I hate the way you say my name
Like it's something secret
My pen is the barrel of the gun
Remind me which side you should be on

[Chorus]
Woah, I want to hate you half as much as I hate myself
But know that I could crush you with my voice
Woah, I want to hate you half as much as I hate myself
You know that I could crush you with my voice

[Post-Chorus]
Stood on my roof and tried to see you forgetting about me
Hide the details, I don't want to know a thing

[Bridge]
I wish that I was as invisible as you make me feel
I wish that I was as invisible as you make me feel
Woah, I want to hate you half as much as I hate my
Woah, I want to hate you half as much as I hate my
One, two, three, four!

[Chorus]
Woah, I want to hate you half as much as I hate myself
But know that I could crush you with my voice
Woah, I want to hate you half as much as I hate myself
You know that I could crush you with my voice

Fall Out Boy is an American rock band hailing from Wilmette, Illinois. The band was formed in 2001 by Pete Wentz, who supplies bass and lyrics to the band, and guitarist Joe Trohman, who both used to be part of metalcore band Arma Angelus. Trohman later recruited vocalist Patrick Stump, who initially tried out as the band’s drummer, after meeting him in a bookstore. After the release of Project Rocket/Fall Out Boy, a split EP with Project Rocket. It was recorded without current drummer Andy Hurley due to him being disinterested in the project; Hurley later joined in 2003 as a replacement touring drummer.

Fueled By Ramen, who were a small independent label at the time, personally called Fall Out Boy to ask them to record a full-length record after hearing one of their demos online. This album became their 2003 debut, Take This To Your Grave, and was a tipping point between the band’s underground success to success in the mainstream. It was the band’s last album to feature Stump as the lead lyricist.

The band’s 2004 acoustic EP, My Heart Will Always Be the B-Side to My Tongue, became their first charting release and gave fans a taste of what to expect on their sophomore album From Under The Cork Tree. The album creation was set back in February 2005 after Wentz’s suicide attempt, which influenced songs such as “7 Minutes In Heaven (Atavan Halen).” The album was released in May 2005 through Island Records, featuring guest vocals from William Beckett of The Academy Is… and Brendon Urie of Panic! At The Disco.
