Complete lyrics for “hate that i made you love me” from the “petal” project – sing every line. Production by Ariana Grande, ILYA, Max Martin.
Grande writes the lyrics as a rebuttal, not an apology. She opens the first verse with an image of survival: “Just know that I will find my way from you / Like flowers from a tomb while you decide who you are.” The line reframes a breakup as an act of growth, not loss. The second verse shifts the blame: “I felt your projections when you felt so insecure / Tell me why is it this way, why you so hate to see women endure.” The question lands as a challenge, not a plea. The chorus repeats the title phrase, each iteration stripping away guilt.

The bridge offers a final shrug: “Sorry if I made me your type.” The song ends where it begins, on the same confession, the same refusal to carry weight that does not belong to her. For karaoke or a singalong, the chorus sticks after one listen. The official lyric video includes the words on screen. Learn them, share them, or just let the track remind you that sometimes the kindest thing a person can do is stop pretending to care more than they do.

— LYRICS —
I can’t tell you why
But something inside is dancing with fire
Eyes lit like the sky
Turned tears into diamonds, got good at goodbyes
Just know that I will find my way from you
Like flowers from a tomb while you decide who you are
And I can see right through, ooh-ooh, like shadows on the moon
And it’s all bad news
Yeah, I, I, I
Hate that I made you love me
Sorry if I made me your type
Yeah, I, I hate that I made you love me
‘Cause I barely tried
Yeah, I, I, I
What’s happening now?
You studied my crown and borrowed my body
Warm, kissed by the sun, then cold likе the wind
A bee stuck in honey
Know that I will find my way (My way) from you (From you)
I guess it’s kind of cutе how you like me where you are
But I can see right through (Right through), ooh-ooh (Ooh-ooh)
Just don’t eclipse the moon
‘Cause it’s all bad news
Yeah, I, I, I
Hate that I made you love me
Sorry if I made me your type
Yeah, I, I hate that I made you love me (Hate that I made you)
‘Cause I barely tried
Yeah, I, I, I (Ooh, yeah)
I’ve held your projections when you’ve felt so insecure
Tell me, why is it this way?
Why you so hate to see women endure?
Is it really my fault you all gave me your hearts of your own accord?
I don’t really think so
I, I
Hate that I made you love me (You love me, baby)
Sorry if I made me your type
Yeah, I, I hate that I made you love me
‘Cause I barely tried
Yeah, I, I, I
Hate that I made you love me (You love me, baby)
Sorry if I made me your type (Sorry if I made me your type)
Yeah, I, I hate that I made you love me (Ooh)
‘Cause I barely tried
Yeah, I, I, I
