More About "I Hate You"

"I Hate You" is a raw, emotional anthem about betrayal, deceit, and manipulation. It captures the feeling of being trapped in a web of lies, unable to see the truth because someone has meticulously crafted a facade to keep you in the dark. It's a powerful expression of anger and hurt, fueled by the realization that forgiveness feels impossible—not because you're unwilling, but because the person who wronged you doesn't deserve it.
