In Levi Hummon's song "Love You Hate You Miss You," the lyrics convey the complex and conflicting emotions experienced after a breakup or the end of a relationship. The singer begins by expressing the need to say something, even though it's difficult to articulate their feelings. They admit to feeling everything at once, which creates a sense of confusion. The chorus reveals the conflicting emotions they have towards their former partner. On one hand, they still love and think about them, even though they know they shouldn't. On the other hand, they feel anger and resentment towards them for getting under their skin like a permanent tattoo. Despite this, they can't deny that they miss the good times they had together. The second verse addresses the person they are singing to directly, acknowledging that they don't have to say anything if they didn't feel the same way. However, regardless of the outcome, the singer still wants to express their feelings one last time. Throughout the song, the repetition of the phrase "I love you, I hate you, I miss you" emphasizes the conflicting emotions that the singer is experiencing. They wish that the relationship didn't end the way it did and even though they don't want to want their former partner back, they can't deny that they still do. Overall, "Love You Hate You Miss You" captures the rollercoaster of emotions that can accompany the end of a relationship, highlighting the internal struggle between love, hate, and longing for what was lost.
