So I was just wondering... Why do you hate me?
I was just trying to help. I wanted to do what’s best for you.
You know what’s wrong with that sentence? The word wanted.
I WANTED what was best for you. I couldn’t care less now.
I WANTED you to be healthy.
I WANTED you to live a happy life.
Well you know what, go smoke ***, pop pills, drink, go jump in bed with anyone who says “I love you.”
Do you really think that’s what love is?
What my family and I gave you... That’s what love is.
Taking someone in from a broken home and trying to make their life better..
that’s what love is.
You are so selfish thinking you could just get up and leave.
But listen here, you NEVER had the right to come into my life and mess everything up. You took away two years of my life and what I got in return... NOTHING.
I’m no longer as open, as happy. You changed me for the worst.
Do you understand that? Why? What’d I do? Try to help you? Yeah, believe it or not I wanted to help you. In return I got nothing.
So yeah, I was just wondering.... Why do you hate me?
