歌词：

Song：I Can't Hate You Anymore
Artist：Nick Lachey

An empty room can be so deafening¹
The silence makes you wanna scream
It drives you crazy

I chased² away the shadows of your name
And burned the picture in a frame³
But it couldn't save me

And how could we quit something
We never even tried?
Well you still can't tell me why

We built it up
To watch it fall
Like we meant nothing at all

I gave and gave
The best of me
But couldn't give you what you need

You walked away
You stole my life
Just to find what you're looking for

But no matter how I try
I can't hate you anymore
I can't hate you anymore

You're not the person that you used to be
The one I want who wanted me
And that's a shame but

There's only so many tears that you can cry
Before it drains⁴ the light right from your eyes
And I can't go on that way

And so I'm letting go
Of everything we were
It doesn't mean it doesn't hurt

We built it up
To watch it fall
Like we meant nothing at all

I gave and gave
The best of me
But couldn't give you what you need

You walked away
You stole my life
Just to find what you're looking for

But no matter how I try
I can't hate you anymore

Sometimes you hold so tight
It slips right through your hands
Will I ever understand?

We built it up
To watch it fall
Like we meant nothing at all

I gave and gave
The best of me
But couldn't give you what you need

You walked away
You stole my life
Just to find what you're looking for

But no matter how I try
I can't hate you anymore

We built it up
To watch it fall
Like we meant nothing at all

I gave and gave
The best of me
But couldn't give you what you need

You walked away
You stole my life
Just to find what you're looking for

But no matter how I try
I can't hate you anymore
