Not hard to hate the story - KMurdock Music Group
It's not hard to hate the story this became
We were writing something different at the start
Now I'm reading through these chapters full of blame
Every page another way we fell apart
Used to be so easy natural as breathing
Now we're forcing conversations that don't land
All these accusations neither of us leaving
But we're strangers holding on to shifting sand
The plot got twisted somewhere in between
The promises we made and what we did
Now we're living in deleted scenes
Acting like we don't know where the magic hid
I could blame you you could blame me
But we both know how we got here
Two authors who just couldn't agree
On which direction we were supposed to steer
Not hard to hate
What we became
Not hard to see
We lost the game
The story that we're telling now
Ain't the one we meant to write somehow
Not hard to hate
The way this ends
Remember when we had the same vision
Every scene made sense
The dialogue was clean
Now we're making unilateral decisions
Saying things we never really mean
You rewrote my character without permission
Made me the villain in your version of events
I'm done trying to explain my position
When you've already decided what I meant
We're improvising badly
Making it up as we go
No direction no conclusion we can find
Both pretending that we still run the show
But the script left both of us behind
Yeah we could try another draft
Start fresh tomorrow clean white page
But we both know that ship has passed
We're just actors trapped inside this cage
Not hard to hate
What we became
Not hard to see
We lost the game
The story that we're telling now
Ain't the one we meant to write somehow
Not hard to hate
The way this ends
We were supposed to be a bestseller
Now we're just another cautionary tale
We were supposed to be forever
Now we're watching everything derail
So here's the final chapter here's the closing line
We wrote ourselves into a corner we can't leave
No plot twist gonna save us this time
No last minute magic up our sleeve
It's not hard to hate what this became
When I compare it to the prologue that we penned
Two different books with just the same name
Both too stubborn to admit this is the end
But I'm closing this book shelving it away
Maybe someday I'll forget the way it burned
For now I'll just accept what I can't change
Some lessons have to be painfully learned
This story that we authored turned to fiction
Full of plot holes that we'll never fill
So I'm writing myself out that's my prediction
Let somebody else pick up the quill
Not hard to hate
What we became
Not hard to see
We lost the game
The story that we're telling now
Ain't the one we meant to write somehow
Not hard to hate
The way this ends
This story's over
Not hard to hate
October to October
Not hard to hate
What this became
What a shame
Not hard to hate
