[Verse 1]
I woke up today
Woke up wide awake
In an empty bed
Staring at an empty room
I have myself to blame
For the state I'm in today
And now dying
Doesn't seem so cruel
And oh, I don't know what to say
And I don't know anyway
Anymore

[Chorus]
I hate myself for losing you
I'm seein' it all so clear (So clear)
I hate myself for losing you
What do you do when you look in the mirror
And staring at you is why he's not here?

[Verse 2]
You got what you deserved
Hope you're happy now
'Cause every time I think of her with you
It's killing me
Inside, and
Now I dread each day, knowing that I can't be saved
From the loneliness of living without you
And, oh
I don't know what to do
Not sure that I'll pull through
I wish you knew

[Chorus]
I hate myself for losing you
I'm seein' it all so clear (So clear)
I hate myself for losing you
What do you do when you look in the mirror
And staring at you is why he's not here?

[Bridge]
I hate myself for losing you
And oh, I don't know what to do
Not sure that I'll pull through
I wish you knew
I wish you knew
And oh, I don't know what to say
And I don't know anyway anymore, more

[Chorus]
I hate myself for losing you
I'm seein' it all so, I'm seein' it all so clear
I hate myself for losing you
What do you do when you look in the mirror
And staring at you is why he's not here?
What do you say when everything you said
Is the reason why he left you in the end?
How do you cry when every tear you shed
Won't ever bring him back again?
I hate myself for loving you

Kelly Brianne Clarkson (born April 24, 1982) is an American singer, songwriter, and occasional actress. In 2002, she came to prominence after winning the first season of American Idol, and has since been established as “The Original American Idol”. Her debut single, “A Moment Like This”, topped the US Billboard Hot 100 and broke the record for the biggest jump to number one in the chart’s history.

Her first album, Thankful included the top ten single “Miss Independent”, which earned her first Grammy nomination. Her second album Breakaway produced the hit single “Since U Been Gone” which reached number two on the Hot 100 and was certified platinum by the RIAA.

Clarkson went in a different direction with her self-creatively-controlled third album, My December. It debuted at number two on the Billboard 200 and produced the top-ten single “Never Again.” Her fourth album, All I Ever Wanted debuted at number one on the Billboard 200. Lead single “My Life Would Suck Without You” re-broke the record for biggest jump to number one on the Hot 100, jumping 97-1 in its second week on the chart. The record still stands today.
