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

She's learned how to hide the pain

But she can't hide the bruises anymore





There's no light behind her eyes

She's 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 won't wake up...

Love shouldn't hurt

Love shouldn't 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 you've never been shown love

How can you give love back?





Her newborn baby's cryin'

It's more than she can stand





She doesn't see the tragedy

When she raises her own hand





There's no light behind her eyes

She doesn't realize what she has done

Didn't think she was being so rough





Little one won't you please wake up?





Chorus x2





...but love should never hurt this way...
