Hate What Hurts You


We stood as one, we said we do
Beneath the chapel bells
Rain or sun, we would stay true
As long as time could tell
Defend these gates, we'd guard our eyes
We'd hold through every war
But casual lies and compromise
Were scratching at the door

I wanna hate what hurts you
I wanna fight everything that brings you pain
I said I'd never desert you
But I'm playing with the things that break your heart
That break your heart

Oh God, how great Your heart must ache
You look down from Your throne
And You watch the ones You came to save
Abuse the lives they're loaned
With every sin, another thorn
We drive into Your brow
And insult Your grace and shout with scorn
Our defiance and our doubt

I wanna hate what hurts You
I wanna fight everything that brings You pain
I said I'd never desert You

There's a waging war inside
Between the darkness and the light
And my soul is torn in two
Matching what I say and what I do
Can you take this heart again?
Let it only beat for you

I wanna hate what hurts You
I wanna fight everything that brings You pain
I said I'd never desert You
But I'm playing with the things that break Your heart
I've been playing with the things that break Your heart
That break Your heart
