I Hate Everything About You Lyrics

Every time we lie awake
After every hit we take
Every feeling that I get
But I haven’t missed you yet

Every roommate kept awake
By every sigh and scream we make
All the feelings that I get
But I still don't miss you yet

Only when I...

    Okay, there are two ways you could interpret this.
    Way 1: He started hooking up with this girl that he didn't know he couldn't stand, a drunk mistake. He doesn't know why he keeps going back to her, but he does and when he thinks about her, he realizes he hates her.After they hook up, he asks himself "Why?"
    Way 2: He is on drugs or a substance and is referring to it as though it were a person. He is asking himself why he takes this substance he is addicted to if he hates it, and he wants to stop.
    These are probably the ways most people interpret the song also, so sorry for the similarities! I <3 Three Days Grace!!

    I feel that its about a heroin addiction, where it affects him in a negative way, which he cannot stand, but has become so dependant on the high that the drug gives him, that he cannot stay away from it, as drugs such as this are highly addictive substances.

    its about all the drugs that he has taken and telling everybody that he hates all the drugs that he takes but he loves the side affects of it.

    This song is simply about hating something, but being so addicted to it or in love with it, that you can't leave it alone.

    It is just about how a sweet relationship truns into break . And I think it is too emotional feelings of a person whose heart has broken down . And drug addiction is not its main theme . Logically a person take drug emotionally when something bad hit his or her life . So the song is too logical, modern. It is not beyond reality.

    It`s like saying that sometimes even if you hate something or someone you will love them in a hurtful relationship.

    I can relate to this song in so many ways. I believe that it is about this guy who got so hurt by a girl and even though he hates her for it he can't stop loving her no matter how hard he tries....

    IT NOT ABOUT DRUGS!!! "only when you stop to think about me do you know" DRUGS can't think!! But, humans, that is a different story. Its probaly about an ex that broke up with him, and they still ove each other. XD

    I honestly think this song has multiple meanings to it, whether it's a relationship with family, your boyfriend/girlfriend, or even a friend.

    In my point of view, this song is telling me about all those jerks who back stabbed and betrayed me because I wasnt popular or "good enough" for them. They were all girls, too. :/ I'm basically the only girl in my school who can't get along with other girls very well because a lot of them betrayed me when we were friends, and yet I still wanna be their friend. :(

    Betrayal breaks the heart and is nothing by knives in my back.

    It's just my opinion, but this song could be about a relationship. Not sure. :-/

    If you watch the official music video, it is obvious that this song is about abusive relationships. These relationships could be between lovers or even parent-child relationships. This song speaks of the abuse and how we seem to not be able to leave "why do I love you?".

    about hating other who abuse, use, betray, ECT. and just wanting to say it to them.

    It seems to me to be about loving something,yet hating it at the same time.Like you can't help but love them/it yet you hate everything they are.

    I've seen interviews where adam says "its about love hate relationships" which is obvious, but it could be love/hate relationships with more than just a person. It could also be about hating drugs, but doing them anyway cause you're addicted.
