Story Behind The Song

My wife and I were in a fight. Not a fist fight mind you, though she does have a mean jab. It was one of those arguments that seem to be about nothing..yet consume both of you until you can't stand to look at each other. I imagined her walking out on me. And the song was my fantasy reaction to that occuring. In all honesty, I don't hate love. But a lot of my songs are writtin from another person's point of view. I'm a very happy person. But I feel your pain dog. And I think I can write about it. Hope you like the result.

Song Description

You ever notice how some of the most bitter, hurful and emotionally jarring feelings...are only experienced when you truly love someone? That's what this song's about. I picture someone so disgusted and worn out by the drama tied to loving someone...that they throw up their hands a say "Screw it! I Hate Love"!

I HATE LOVE

VERSE 1
A G
You entered the rooom...
D A
With dozens of cheap insinuations
A G
at the end...
D A
Like how I wouldn't bend


A G
It's happened before...
D A
And as you walk out my door...
A G
I contemplate freedom...
D A
Then my heart goes numb

CHORUS
E G D A D,A
I hate love...'cuz it makes me feel so sad
E G D A D,A
How can something so beautiful, make me hurt so bad
E G D A
I was teetering on the edge, then you gave me a shove...

E G D A
And now.....I hate love


A, G, D, A
A, G, D, A

VERSE II
You entered my room...
A vision of doom...
Like the pictures on my floor...
I can't see you any more
It's all re-arranged...
Feels so very strange...
Like announcements on the wall
"There will be no curtain call..."

CHORUS
I hate love...'cuz it makes me feel so bad
How can something so beautiful, make me feel so sad
I was on the edge, then you gave me a shove...

And now...I hate love

(Guitar Solo...4 measures)

It's all over now...
And I don't know how..
But there's no room in this place
For a woman with your face


REPEAT CHORUS

woo hoo hoo
