hot and cold

(Verse 1) In the shadows where the heartache lingers, Love and hate, they dance with twisted fingers, Children caught in the crossfire, no escape, Dreams shattered, futures wrapped in tape. (Verse 2) Momma cryin', while daddy's lost in the streets, Life's a gamble, but the deck's stacked with deceit, Whispers of hope drown in the chaos and pain, Every laughter’s a mask, hiding the strain. (Verse 3) Little eyes wide, they don’t see the scars, Just the dreams of a life beneath the stars, But the darkness creeps in, it’s a thief in the night, Stealin' innocence, turnin' wrong into right. (Verse 4) Love’s a warzone, where the casualties rise, Hate’s a poison, hidden behind the lies, We raise 'em up strong, but the world’s so cold, In a tale of love and hate, watch the truth unfold.
