"How I Hate" copyright March 8, 2026 by Gary E. Andrews

{Verse I)
You don't know, How I Hate, to let you go.
Time has come, to ease me on, down the road.
I can't stay, here knowing what I know.
(Chorus Refrain)
How I Hate, I hate to let you go.

(Verse II)
I can't see, any way, for me to stay.
I can't win! I can't place! I can't show!
Broken hearts, leave me no, place to play!
How I Hate, I hate to let you go.

(Bridge)
Please! Please, forgive me when I'm gone.
I, never meant, to do you so, so wrong.
You and him, once my friends, now my foes.
How I Hate, How I Hate, to let you go.

(Repeat VI)
"You don't know, How I Hate, to let you go.
Time has come, to ease me on, down the road.
I can't stay, here knowing what I know.
(Coda)
How I Hate, How I Hate, to let you go.
How I Hate, How I Hate, to let you go.
