"Only when I stop to think about it… I hate everything about you; why do I love you?
Like several songs by the Canadian band Three Days Grace, this one can make you think, That's so stup— Well… Huh. At first glance, the yelling that "I hate everything about you" but love you anyway seems really silly.
But on second thought and consideration of the song, several people I know and I find it "interesting." You'll hate things about anyone, more so in the people you love, since you know them all the better and therefore know their flaws. In this case, each party hates "everything" about the other—which really isn't that inconceivable. Negatives are easier to remember than positives.
The lyrics make it pretty obvious that the couple was involved in a sexual relationship outside of marriage without getting crass. ("Every roommate kept awake by every sigh and scream we make.") And the fights between these two evidently got violent, so if these things bother you, it's not a good song for you.
The alternative metal of this song also has a post-grunge influence, so if you don't like the musically "rough" minor key, stay away. It's one of those songs that you can recognize immediately, and Adam Gontier's vocals don't hurt it.
As of this writing, Three Days Grace allowed people to listen to this song on their MySpace page.
