[Verse 1]
I can't catch a break as of late
People knockin' me down, I'm filled with so much hate
Lately I've been through hell
Because I don't know how to manage my life well
I used to hug the friends I had around
Now I'm pushing people back; I'm hugging the ground
I've dealt with pain, neglect, emotional abuse
What it's like to be taken advantage of, and used
I haven't been the best of myself
Or an example of how to love anyone else
I won't lie, it's been hard, after what I've witnessed
I used to cry wondering when I could end this
Please send me an angel or two
To pull me out of this hell that I've been through
I want to learn how to love at my worst
While still being able to put myself first
[Pre-Chorus]
Say to yourself, "I have hope"
You're still alive, and you're trying to cope
Say to yourself, "I matter too"
We have the same anatomy, even when we're blue
Say to yourself, "I got a chance to take"
Only you can take the risk that no one else will make
Say to yourself, "I've got a heart and a soul"
Reach inside, find yourself, what makes you feel whole
[Chorus]
They showed me how to care
To wake me up again
From the despair
Reaching out as a friend
The fear has to end, and the hate
It's hard to believe we can change our fate
So if we lend a hand and a stone
We can change course with a pebble on the road
[Verse 2]
Sometimes I find myself in danger
Nowadays I find everyone to be "just a stranger"
I don't know who to trust after what I've seen
Abandonment through my life, know what I mean?
But I've had more support from strangers sometimes
I still have good friends, but a dozen a dime
One said, "hope your situation improves"
I said "Thanks, 'cause now I have less to lose"
'Cause, everything's coming out of the blue
I expect the unexpected, now I question the truth
Another said, "It ain't much, but nor am I"
I said, "you still supported me, that ain't no lie"
They said, "I don't have a lot but it helps"
I said, "yes you do, because you have yourself"
I used to question why I should be nice anymore
Then I was reminded what I live for
[Pre-Chorus]
I've got helping hands from NG
I'm breaking new ground, and I'm breaking free
I kept trying not to get beat down
Kept pushing people out, I was lost until found
Didn't know who had my back
People say they love me, then execute the attack
Sometimes it's hard to find the red flags
But life's about learning what you want to attract
[Chorus]
They showed me how to care
To wake me up again
From the despair
Reaching out as a friend
The fear has to end, and the hate
It's hard to believe we can change our fate
So if we lend a hand and a stone
We can change course with a pebble on the road
So, care!
[Outro]
I'm gonna love the hate out of you
'Cause you've been beaten down and screwed
By people who hurt and hate
This is the environment that we create
Let's heal the world and give a little more
We're all weak, tired and sore
But if we join our hands like this
We'll fill our hearts, no more emptiness
I can't catch a break as of late
People knockin' me down, I'm filled with so much hate
Lately I've been through hell
Because I don't know how to manage my life well
I used to hug the friends I had around
Now I'm pushing people back; I'm hugging the ground
I've dealt with pain, neglect, emotional abuse
What it's like to be taken advantage of, and used
I haven't been the best of myself
Or an example of how to love anyone else
I won't lie, it's been hard, after what I've witnessed
I used to cry wondering when I could end this
Please send me an angel or two
To pull me out of this hell that I've been through
I want to learn how to love at my worst
While still being able to put myself first
[Pre-Chorus]
