[Verse 1]
So, take me way back, back in the day
My father was a fuck up absolutely insane
He walked out the door straight out of my life
And 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

[Pre-Chorus]
Somebody catch me

[Chorus]
(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

[Verse 2]
Now I'm out here walking the streets
I'm a fatherless child, I'm a social disease
There's no love living in broken home
I never, ever thought I'd have to live it alone
And then I talk 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
[Pre-Chorus]
Drag you to hell if you let it

[Chorus]
(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

[Bridge]
I've lost my innocence
You've tried to take my hope
You've tried to take me down
(No, you can't 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

[Refrain]
I'm hopeless, I'm helpless
I'm powerless I gotta get out of this
Gotta get out of this
[Chorus]
(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

[Outro]
I gotta get out of this
Fear, hate, love
