I'm my own biggest enemy
Yeah, all my empathy's a disaster
Feelin' somethin' like a scaly thing
Wrapped too tightly 'round my own master
My friends are gettin' bored of me
Sayin' I fell in love with a stranger
I don't know what they all think of me
But in reality, I don't even
[Pre-Chorus]
Remember anything but thinkin' you're the one
And I can force a future like it's nothing
[Chorus]
So I'll just hate everybody
Well, then why can't I go home without somebody?
And really, I could fall in love with anybody who don't want me
So I just keep sayin' I hate everybody
But maybe I, maybe I don't
[Verse 2]
I know I've got a tendency
To exaggerate what I'm seein'
And I know that it's unfair of me
To make a memory out of a feelin'
It's 'cause I notice every single thing
That's ever happening in the moment
And I don't know why it's consumin' me
Because honestly, all I know is
Infatuation's observation with a cause
But none of it is love, so while I'm waitin' for it
[Chorus]
I'll hate everybody
Well, then why can't I go home without somebody?
And really, I could fall in love with anybody who don't want me
So I just keep sayin' I hate everybody
But maybe I, maybe I don't
[Bridge]
If I could make you love me
Maybe you could make me love me
And if I can't make you love me
Then I'll just hate everybody
[Chorus]
Everybody
Well, then why can't I go home without somebody?
And really, I could fall in love with anybody who don't want me
So I just keep sayin' I hate everybody
But maybe I, maybe I don't

At some point I kind of put my foot down and was like, ‘Here’s what we’re not going to do is make all my music about whoever I’m dating. This album is about me. I should matter enough on my own. I shouldn’t be desirable because some rock star you think is cool thinks I’m desirable. That’s not what this is anymore, and it never should have been.‘ But when you’re young, your insecurities get the best of you sometimes, and “I HATE EVERYBODY” is about that. It’s thinking, ‘Well, they respect his opinion, so if he likes me, they will too.’ Whoa. Wrong. No-no-no. This should be about me.'
