[Verse 1]
Feeling used, but I'm still missing you
And I can't see the end of this
Just wanna feel your kiss against my lips
And now all this time is passing by
But I still can't seem to tell you why
It hurts me every time I see you
Realize how much I need you

[Chorus]
I hate you, I love you
I hate that I love you
Don't want to, but I can't put
Nobody else above you
I hate you, I love you
I hate that I want you
You want her, you need her
And I'll never be her

[Verse 2]
What about all the times
You would pick me up and we'd just drive
Around until we found a place to stay and waste the day away
We'd do nothing but it was okay with me
You say it's not good to spend all my time
Thinking about you so late at night
But I can't stop once I start it's like an avalanche
Thoughts coming and I just wanna hold your hand
Hold your breath, I'm going under
Not coming up 'til this night is over
'Til this night is over

[Chorus]
I hate you, I love you
I hate that I love you
Don't want to, but I can't put
Nobody else above you
I hate you, I love you
I hate that I want you
You want her, you need her
And I'll never be her

[Bridge]
All alone, I watch you watch her
Like she's the only girl you've ever seen
You don't care, you never did
You don't give a damn about me
Yeah, all alone, I watch you watch her
She is the only thing you've ever seen
How is it you never notice
That you were slowly killing me

[Chorus]
I hate you, I love you
I hate that I love you
Don't want to, but I can't put
Nobody else above you
I hate you, I love you
I hate that I want you
You want her, you need her
And I'll never be her

Olivia O’Brien

Olivia O'Brien (born November 26, 1999) is a singer-songwriter from Napa, CA and currently living in Los Angeles, CA. She first grew to prominence releasing covers on her SoundCloud.

One song, “hate u love u,” was noticed by gnash, who remastered the song, included O'Brien’s chorus and one verse, added his own verse, and re-released the song under the title “i hate u i love u.” That song blew up, reaching the top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100 and topping the Australian charts.

She is the cousin of Devon Carlson (Jesse Rutherford’s girlfriend) and Sydney Carlson.
