Here we go again in that same story

Follow the routine until we say, "I'm sorry"

Hands are shaking till I just look down at the floor

Face is turning red and eyes are going puffy

You ask me why we yell and I come up with nothing

Your insecurities are pulling you back

But please know, oh, oh...

I love you, but I don't like you

The simple truth is I can't do this, though I try to

I love you, but I don't like you

And I can't shut you out, so I'm shutting my mouth

But I'll never despise you

I just don't like you

Oh, oh, oh, oh...

Oh, oh...

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh...

We pour our souls out about the past months

By just trying to talk about lunch

And every single thing we say is gonna start a new war

And I'm exhausted from this tug of war of words

And when you said, "I don't care for you", it got worse

We both know it isn't working but I still put you first.

'cause I love you, but I don't like you

The simple truth is I can't do this, though I try to

I love you, but I don't like you

And I can't shut you out, so I'm shutting my mouth

But I'll never despise you

I just don't like you.

Ooh...

We both refuse to lose

We both refuse to choose the higher road

Which way will we go? oh-oh, oh-oh

And ooh (ooh)

We both refuse to lose (lose)

We both refuse to choose the higher road

Which way will we go? oh-oh, oh-oh...

'cause I love you, but I don't like you

The simple truth is I can't do this, though I try to

I love you, but I don't like you

And I can't shut you out, so I'm shutting my mouth

But I'll never despise you

I just don't like you

Oh, oh, oh, oh...

Oh, oh...

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh...

Oh, oh, oh, oh...

Oh, oh...

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh...

I just don't like you.
