Goo Goo Dolls - Hate This Place Lyrics






Gone away
Who knows where you been
But you take all your lies
And wish them all away

I somehow doubt
We'll ever be the same
There's too much poison
And confusion on your face

Can you feel it?
I didn't mean it
Can I see you?
What are we doin'?
I think I love you
But I ain't sayin'
Nothin' you don't know

Hold on dreamaway
You're my sweet charade

Take your time
Move yourself to me
Yeah, I can take your lies
Until you fall away

You know I'm lost
Hiding in your bed
No, I don't think it's wrong
It's just gone to my head

Can you feel it?
I didn't mean it
Can I see you?
What are we doin'?
I think I love you
But I ain't sayin'
Nothin' you don't know

Hold on dreamaway
You're my sweet charade

Hey, whatcha do to me?
Would you come back to me?
Yeah, I can't do another day
I'm not certain of it anyway
I ain't messin' with another life
Can I get along without you?
Tell me the lies that you know I need

Hold on dreamaway
You're my sweet charade

Hold on dreamaway
You're my sweet charade

Hold on dreamaway
Hold on dreamaway

    This song reminds me of my stepdad's house , we are recently been living in for 7-8 years . The house was a house like no there it encounter evil like no other , my mom was a stay at home mom, my stepdad was a mechanic so we would always get fussed at by him , you have no idea how much I had hated that place I was disrespected by him, i know I shouldn't be disrespectful but I was to him he put my mom through so much today was one of those days to where he screamed his lungs out. It was something about him I understand perfectly that he was a man of evil and so was the house , I eventually realized it when every year had gotten worse , I still hate it but my mom will not let me go to somewhere else so I stay and always listen to this song

  29. J.... S....

    awesome song by dolls of goo goo!!! been to 3 separate concerts each one amazing, john hasn't lost a beat over the years

  30. J.... S....

    the song is about a love lost or dream that was lost whether thru death or heartache! its about the pain of love that we all experience in life & how it makes us stronger & who we are today! His most emotional song along with Black Balloon! Pure Magic!

  31. V.... N....

    been listening to this album since I was 15... so... almost 15 years?  Was one of my first ever CD's.  I still love this album above all.  There's something about this song that just plays with the heartstring.  Be it memories of heartache, growing, hoping, wishing, becoming who I am today.

    V.... N....

    +Va Nessa I feel the same. Hard to imagine it was that long ago, and yet, it has more meaning to me than ever.

    V.... N....

    such a great album!!

    V.... N....

    Itʻs as if this album put the best parts of the younger me in a time capsule, and brings me back there so I can look around me now, and know that I did wind up getting out of there, I did not wind up stuck and resigned in my life, the ways that I feared I would be when I first started listening to these songs.

    V.... N....

    Kira hmm... Hopefully it all worked out for you

    V.... N....

    Va Nessa YES 🤟

  32. M.... R....

    <3 <3 <3

  33. W.... W....

    Great song!!

  34. C.... C....

    Best song in my life

    C.... C....

    Cryztha Chavarria Alc. I hope life is better now, and you still love the song :)

  35. L.... T....

    I love the Goo's!!!! Their music speaks to my soul. I am so excited they are coming to the Iowa State Fair this year! I hope they play this song when they come and Long Way Down,  two of my many favorites!

  36. a.... d....

    What's this song about?
    By the way great song

    a.... d....

    I believe it's a song about a person who has visions about a fake / imaginary love, and he/she dreams about it no matter if it's real or not.

    a.... d....

    hate this place refers to Johnnys life of growing up being poor a punk & parentless! Never thawt he wud make it out of Buffalo until a LA DJ heard his song Name & the rest is history!

    a.... d....

    i thought it was about a heroin addiction

    a.... d....

    black balloon is about heroin addiction! hate this place is about John Rzezniks life growing up as a teen when he thawt his career was goin nowhere!

    a.... d....

    I think edgar and jimmy nailed it equally. Literally my life is this song. Fall in love with the the pain it's all we've got to feel anything sometimes ♥️

  37. B.... M....

    I always come back to this song, reminds me of high-school <3

    B.... M....

    aaaaaand again

  38. r.... ....

    these guys really help me through some rough times growing up as well

  39. g.... ....

    One of the best GOO songs ever! LOVE this song!!

  40. E.... M....

    Why doesn't anyone make a full album video?

  41. T.... ....

    I'm with you, I've had all of their Cd's in my car for more than 8 months straight, just keep rotating them. and on my phone when I work out, that's all I listen to. I think they are worse than Cheetos', completely addictive!!! But I honestly can say I don't mind!

  42. S.... L....

    iTunes messed up all my GGD so thanks for putting my favorite song on here<3

  43. H.... ....

    I gave this cd to my ex girlfriend. One huge regret

  44. T.... ....

    Yes, I've always loved this song

  45. J.... T....

    right on

  46. T.... ....

    No way. Everything before this CD is the stuff that's underrated. Nobody knows about this song, though, because it wasn't a single.

  47. M.... D....

    It's almost embarrassing how much I listen to the GGD. I never get tired of listening to them no matter what my mood or situation, there's always a song that fits.

  48. m.... ....

    great song, great album, great memories.
    still got 3 of the tracks on my ipod and aint comin off!!! I sing and play in bands and id cut my arm off to have this guys voice. pity they dont get the lime light more!

  49. G.... R....

    Its sad that Justin Bieber gets praises for crap music!!.. and AMAZING songs like this goes unnoticed, this WHOLE ALBUM should have been played over the radio.. if I didn't buy DIZZY UP THE GIRL when it first came out I would have never heard these amazing songs that touched my heart and defined what I thought was REALLY good rock music .. I could not imagine NOT hearing this album, I'd be in a shitty mood most of the time;P.. Dizzy up the girl is a must have!

  50. p.... ....

    I love dizzy up the girl so fraekin much. This song....... wow. AMAZING.

  51. T.... ....

    I know people have already said this, but "Hate this Place" is SUCH an underrated song!

  52. g.... ....

    this song is so fucken good, along with the whole dizzy up the girl album. I remember getting this album as a present when I was 5, it was my first album i ever got. 14 years later and I still rock out to these songs like I did was I was 5, best present I ever got.

  53. N.... S....

    @OuttaEgypt The closest to heaven that you'll ever be?

  54. M.... D....

    Hoooold ooon, DREEEEEEAMAWAAAY... x

  55. H.... ....

    Wow. I just looked this song up randomly and I remembered all of the words. I haven't heard this song in over 10 years.

  56. s.... ....

    this song should have been a single. but it is the most amazing thing when you listen to an album and the last one turns out to be complete gem of a surprise, favourite song, very very underrated XD

  57. D.... ....

    you can really here the emotion in his voice when he says 'hold on' right at the end, stupidly under-rated band

  58. b.... ....

    My mom loved this album. Listened to it all the time when we were little. :)

  59. m.... ....

    @21hazza i know! nobody knows them here. some people know iris. but thats about it. soo annoying

  60. a.... ....

    this whole album reminds me of when i was little like 3 and played with my barbies to this cassette...

  61. e.... ....

    Eargasm.

  62. H.... C....

    This one of the most beautiful songs on earth in my opinion

  63. S.... Y....

    also so cool outro / guitars ... from 3:49 ... til the end vanishing...

  64. S.... Y....

    @mellanbee19 ,

    right ! i 'm w / u ... agree
    listen to that arrengement at 2:18 and on !

  65. S.... Y....

    @mellanbee19 ,

    right ! i 'm w / u ... agree

  66. H.... C....

    Beautiful!!!
    I realy wish the Goos where more popular in England

  67. A.... S....

    dizzy up the girl

  68. N.... B....

    @OuttaEgypt The closest to heaven that you'd ever be, maybe? :P

  69. e.... ....

    This song and Slide are the best

  70. L.... S....

    one of my fav! :)

  71. s.... ....

    this is such a gem of a song. especially with it being the last track from this album. one of my all time favorites, wish there had been a video

  72. O.... ....

    The album that defined my teen years, I must've listened to it about a trillion times. And Johnny was the biggest celebrity crush I've ever had, holy hell those were the days when I'd pop this CD into my boom-box and listen to that voice blaring into my ears. I was in heaven, or very close to it . :D

  73. f.... ....

    one of my faves of all time (and i like 2 think i have great taste in music!)

  74. S.... M....

    This song is the best! So underrated.

  75. T.... W....

    Great song. Glad someone finally put it on youtube cause I could never find it before
