Thank Me Later

Hello dear friend, friend
I hear it loud and clear now
(It's bleeding through these stone walls)
You leave it veiled, veiled
Decaying in a dark cloud
(It's eating me inside too)

'Cause I know
That the pain goes deep
Down with you in the dark cave
That path in the rabbit hole hat you travel on
When your heart is scathed

Such a barren place
Don't let it be a coup de grâce
Please, don't lock that door
Even though you're worn and taut I know that

I will bear
All the pain you cause
Because I believe in you

Even if you cannot recall
The depth of my love for you
I'll play the waiting game

You might hate me now
Might hate me now
But thank me later
But thank me later

You might hate me now
Might hate me now
But thank me later
But thank me later

You might hate me now
Might hate me now
But thank me later
But thank me later

Just thank me later (don't fret)
Just thank me later

It's true
You're no longer that little girl I knew
Who loved eating them cheeto curls at school

We were such a dynamic duo
With the card games, fought many duels
But we can't go back for a do-over

I wish things were different
Wish I never had bills to deal with
Wish I never had crushed your feelings
With sharp words, like a zealous dimwit

I hate it cause
The pride in me, it gets crumbled up
But I'll sprinkle that on a piece of pie
And I'll eat it up, even though

I will bear
All the pain you cause
Because I believe in you

Even if you cannot recall
The depth of my love for you
I'll play the waiting game

You might hate me now
Might hate me now
But thank me later
But thank me later

You might hate me now
Might hate me now
But thank me later
But thank me later

You might hate me now
Might hate me now
But thank me later
But thank me later

Just thank me later (don't fret)
Just thank me later

There's not much more I can say
I'll have to play the waiting game
There's not much more I can say
I'Ill have to play the waiting game

There's not much more I can say
I'll have to play the waiting game

You might hate me now (don't fret)
Just thank me later (oh, yeah)
You might hate me now (don't fret)
Just thank me later

I will bear
All the pain you cause
Because I believe in you

Even if you cannot recall
The depth of my love for you
I'll play the waiting game

You might hate me now
Might hate me now
But thank me later
But thank me later

You might hate me now
Might hate me now
But thank me later
But thank me later

You might hate me now
Might hate me now
But thank me later
But thank me later

Just thank me later (don't fret)
Just thank me later

There's not much more I can say
I'll have to play the waiting game
There's not much more I can say
I'Ill have to play the waiting game

There's not much more I can say
I'Ill have to play the waiting game

You might hate me now (don't fret)
Just thank me later (oh, yeah)
You might hate me now (don't fret)
Just thank me later

I will bear
All the pain you cause
Because I believe in you

Even if you cannot recall
The depth of my love for you
I'll play the waiting game

You might hate me now
Hate me now
But thank me later

You might hate me now
Hate me now
But thank me later

You might hate me now
Hate me now
But thank me later

Just thank me later
Just thank me later
