When You Hate To Love

歌詞

Yeah Sometimes we gotta go here man I hope this should help somebody She was prefect growing up angelic beyond clean High school valedictorian prom queen Met a fella got took fast dreams abolished Introduce her to drugs, sophomore year in college Dropped out back in the hood the streets sweep her Momma let her back in the house thought she could help her To some it seemed crazy but trusting her seemed dumber As soon as she went to sleep started stealing cash from her Gone three or four days straight no sunshine Selling what was left of her body for one dime Told her mother she was rehabbing but she was lying Whenever she came around she burned her each time One night she was walking the street roaching for bread They raped beat her up real bad left her for dead Stumbled to her mother's house once more this time she said "I love you but you can't come in I'll pray for you" and shut the door [Hook:] Sometimes you hate to love Cause it's such a confusing thing How can something that's made for us Turn around and cause us pain Sometimes the greatest love Is the kind that hurts the most But when it seems it's far away That's the time it's really close This young boy had it all not many youngsters had more Was raised up receiving whatever he asked for The pride of his father big plans they both had Grooming him to be a star athlete just like dad He was on the right path the dream realization By twelve grade recruited by every school in the nation He was spoiled and arrogant felt the world was his Playstation Went to jail first time after a street altercation His daddy came and got him straight out, jelly he worked it Knew it had to be a misunderstanding his son was perfect But the opposite of perfect they started to see signs Then the next six months he got arrested three times Daddy saved him from a big drug charge, a stolen car But the robbery him and his boys pulled off was the last straw Heart-broken when he got that call His son crying on the phone, his father said "This time you're on your own" [Hook] The next story is the deepest of all it gets harder A single mother living alone with a young daughter A new dude comes into the picture and brings order Becomes the perfect man a provider and step-father But when the mother left him alone the worst happened He would do thing to this child no one ever imagined Defenseless against this and robbed of her innocence Permanent scars lifelong nightmarish remembrance Inside her, nothing would ever be like things were Never told a soul scared that her mother would blame her Cause he told that in daily more reserve she became The mood of the household started to feel strange Mother's intuition kicked in she discovered what it was Found an under gourmet in the clothes hamper spotted with blood Ran in her daughter's room demanded answers at once The child broke down and told her what's been happening for months Left her feeling like she failed to protected child from harm When the man returned home, the police was waiting for him Gave up the love she thought that she had but meanwhile She gotta painfully attempt to repair her broken child [Hook]
