between love and hate

johnny paycheck

i love you so much

it never entered my mind

you were laughing at me not with me

and you'd leave me behind

i could never take you back again

you know it's too late

because it's a mighty thin line

between love and hate

for a while i died inside

and i cried all the time

your leaving destroyed me

i forgot the sun was shining

then one day i got hold of myself

got over you

now i feel great

but it's a mighty thin line

between love and hate

now don't get me wrong i'm not saying i hate you

but i draw the line at memories that hurt me

and you'll never use me again for your stepping stone

because i also draw the line between dirt and me

if i sound harsh and bitter

i don't mean to sound that way

but i'm off my knees and back on my feet

and i intend to stay that way

i you think i'll take you back again

don't hold your breath while you wait

because it's a mighty thin line

between love and hate
