Born in pure innocence
Born without fear
She says "mommy what did I do wrong,
To make you cry your angry tears? "
Feeling dirty and ashamed
Keeps making up excuses
Shes learned how to hide the pain
But she cant hide the bruises anymore
Theres no light behind her eyes
Shes tryin to find love in a strangers touch
14 years old and so alone
Desperate for what she needs so much
(michael) she cries herself to sleep at night
And prays she wont wake up...
Love shouldnt hurt
Love shouldnt scar
But sometimes we can be so blind
To the way things really are
Love can be so unkind
Truth is that hearts get broken every day
But love should never hurt this way...
Children having children
And growing up too fast
If youve never been shown love
How can you give love back?
Her newborn babys cryin
Its more than she can stand
She doesnt see the tragedy
When she raises her own hand
Theres no light behind her eyes
She doesnt realize what she has done
Didnt think she was being so rough
Little one wont you please wake up?
Chorus x2
...but love should never hurt this way...
