So take me way back – back in the day My father was a f** up – absolutely insane He walked out the door – straight out of my life He stole my innocence – like a thief in the night I had a handful of cards – stacked against me Mama's blacked out – I couldn't tell if she loved me I gave up cause I didn't have a family I fell hard with nobody there to catch me Somebody catch me Fear – I'm hopeless Hate – I'm helpless Love – I'm powerless I gotta get out of this Fear – No choice in Hate – This crisis Love – It's heartless I'm so sick of this Why did you abandon me? How could you just walk away? Fear – I'm hopeless Hate – I'm helpless Love – I'm powerless I gotta get out of this Now I'm out here – walking the streets I'm a fatherless child – I'm a social disease There's no love living in a broken home I never ever thought I'd have to live it alone Then I talked to God – said I was empty How could anybody ever possibly love me? I know that it hurts at the minute It'll drag you to hell if you let it Drag you to hell if you let it Fear – I'm hopeless Hate – I'm helpless Love – I'm powerless I gotta get out of this Fear – No choice in Hate – This crisis Love – It's heartless I'm so sick of this Why did you abandon me ? How could you just walk away ? Fear – I'm hopeless Hate – I'm helpless Love – I'm powerless I gotta get out of this I've lost my innocence You've tried to take my hope You've tried to take me down I found myself again No you can't take my heart No you can't take me down Cause karma comes around Fear – I'm hopeless Hate – I'm helpless Love – I'm powerless I gotta get out of this Fear – No choice in Hate – This crisis Love – It's heartless I'm so sick of this Why did you abandon me ? How could you just walk away ? Fear – I'm hopeless Hate – I'm helpless Love – I'm powerless I gotta get out of this Fear Hate Love
