Song lyrics
Some people say you hate me
I don't believe it's true, things that you're going through
Some people say you hate me
I don't believe it's you, things that you're going through
Some people said a prayer for
No one you want to live, the eyes that once were his
Some people said a prayer for
The way you want to live, the eyes you want to give
Some people say you played me
I don't care if it's true, I'm waiting here for you
Some people say you made it
I'm not afraid to know, when things are getting low
Some people say you hate me
I don't believe it's true, things that you're going through
Some people say you hate me
I don't believe it's you, things that you're going through
